Verified
Answer
  1. The total number of ions in 38.1 g is 5.49×1023ions
  2. Mass in kilograms of 3.58 mol of CuCl2 H2O  is 5.49×1023 ions.
  3. Mass in milligrams of 2.88×1022 formula unit is2.32×104 mg Bi(NO3)3.5H2O.
1Step 1: Introduction to the Concept

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

2Step 2: Solution Explanation

a)

The following molar massSrF2,

Mω of SrF=Mω of  Sr+2×(Mω of F)                 =87.62gmol+2×19.00gmol                 =125.62gmol

The number of formula units (FU) of is calculated by multiplying the given mass of SrF2 by the reciprocal of its molar mass and the Avogadro's number.

Number FU of SrF2=38.1g SrF×(mol SrF125.62 g SrF)×(6.022×1023FU SrF2mol SrF2)                                    =1.83×1023 FU of SrF2

Because each FU of SrF2 contains three ions, the total number of ions in 38.1 g of SrF2is as follows.


Total numbers of ions of SrF2=1.83×1023FU SrF23 ionsFU SrF2                                                   =5.49×1023 ions

3Step 3: Solution Explanation

b)

The following molar mass CuCl2 .2H2O

Mω of CuCl ×2H2O=Mω of Cu +2×(Mω of Cl)+4×(Mω of H)+2×(Mω of O)                                    =63.55gmol+2×(35.45gmol)+4×(1.01gmol)+2×(16.00gmol)                                    =170.49gmol

To calculate the mass in kilograms of 3.58 mol of CuCl2. 2H2O multiply the provided number of moles by its molar mass and divide by 1000.

moles of CuCl2×2H2O=3.58 mol CuCl2×2H2O×(170.49 g CuCl2×2H2Omol CuCl2 ×2H2O)                                          =0.610 kg CuCl2 ×2H2O

c)

The following molar mass Bi(NO3)3 .5H2O,

Mω of Bi(NO3)3×5H2O=Mω of (Mω of N)+14×(Mω of O)+10×(Mω of H)                                          =208.98gmol+3×(14.01gmol)+14×(16.00gmol)+10×(1.01gmol)                                          =485.11gmol

The number of formula units (FU) of Bi(NO3)3. 5H2O is calculated by multiplying the given mass of Bi(NO3)3.5H2O by the reciprocal of its molar mass and the Avogadro's number.

moles of Bi(NO3)3×5H2O=2.88×1022FU×(mol BiNO33×5H2O6.022×1023FU)                                               =4.78×10-2mol Bi(NO3)3×5H2OMolar masses of Bi(NO3)35H2O,mass of Bi (NO3)3×5H2O=4.78×10-2 mol of Bi (NO3)3×5H2O×(485.11g BiNO33×5H2Omol BiNO33×5H2O)                                               =2.32×104 mg Bi(NO3)3×5H2O
