Answer
  1. Mass in kilograms of 4.6×1021molecules of NO2is 3.5×10-4 kg.
  2. Moles of Cl atoms in 0.0615 g of C2H4Cl2is 1.24×10-3 mol Cl atoms.
  3. Number of ions in 5.82 g of SrH2 is 7.82×1022 H- ions .
1Step 1: Relation between mass and mole of the substance

The mass of a substance made up of an equal number of fundamental units is defined as a mole.

2Step 2: Determination of Mass in kilograms of 4 . 6 × 10 21 molecules of N O 2

a)

Let’s compute for molar mass of NO2

Mω of NO2=Mω of N+2×(Mω of O)                    =14.01gmol+2×(16.00gmol)                    =46.01 gmol

We start by calculating the mass in grams. Multiply the provided quantity of NO2molecules by the reciprocal of Avogadro's number and the molar mass of NO2 To get the mass in kilograms, multiply the value by 1000.

Mass of NO2=4.6×1021 molecules of NO2 ×(mol NO26.022×1023 molecules NO2)×(46.01 g NO2mol NO2)                       =3.5×10-4 kg NO2

3Step 3: Determination of Moles of Cl atoms in 0.0615 g of C 2 H 4 Cl 2

b)

The following is the molar mass of C2H4Cl2

Mω of C2H4Cl2=2×(Mω of C)+4×(Mω of H)+2×(Mω of Cl)                            =2×(12.01gmol) +4×(1.01gmol)+2×(35.45gmol)                            =98.94 gmol

The mass of C2H4Cl2is multiplied by the reciprocal of its molar mass. We multiply 2 to it because there are 2 moles of Cl atoms per mole of C2H4Cl2

As shown below, the number of moles of Cl atoms in 0.0615 g of  C2H4Cl2has been computed.

Moles of Cl atoms = 0.0615 g C2H4Cl2×(mol C2H4Cl298.94 g C2H4Cl2)×(2 mol Cl atoms1 mol C2H4Cl2)                                   =1.24×10-3 mol Cl atoms

4Step 4: Determination of Number of H ions in 5.82 g of SrH 2

c)

The following is the molar mass of SrH2 

Mω of SrH2=Mω of Sr +2×(Mω of H)                     =87.62gmol+2×(1.01gmol)                     =89.64gmol 


The mass of  SrH2is multiplied by the reciprocal of its molar mass, the number of moles of  H-ions per mole of SrH2and Avogadro's number. 

Moles of H- ions =5.82 g SrH2×(mol g SrH289.64 g SrH2)×(2 mol H- ionsmol SrH2)                                  ×(6.022×1023H- ionsmol H- ions)                                 =7.82×1022 H- ions
