Answer:
211.63 g.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Particles could refer to atoms, molecules, formula units.
- Knowing that every one mole of a substance contains Avogadro's no. of molecules (NA = 6.022 x 10²³).
Using cross multiplication:
1.0 mole → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.
??? mole → 8.95 x 10²³ molecules.
- The no. of moles of magnesium acetate = (8.95 x 10²³ molecules) (1.0 mole) / (6.022 x 10²³ molecules) = 1.486 mol.
∴ The grams of magnesium acetate are in 8.95 x 10²³ formula units = n x molar mass = (1.486 mol)(142.394 g/mol) = 211.63 g.
