Hello!

The answer is: There are 3.42 moles of MgCl2 in 326g of the compound.

Why?

Assuming that the compound is MgCl2, we can find how many moles of the compound are in 326 g of the same compound, calculating the molar mass of the compound, so:


Mg=24.305(g)/(mol)\\\\Cl=35.45(g)/(mol)

Then,


MgCl2MolarMass=24.305+(2*35.45)=95.21(g)/(mol)

Therefore, to calculate how many moles are in 326 of the compound, we can use the following equation


Moles=(mass)/(molarmass) =(326g)/(95.21(g)/(mol))=3.42molesMgCl2

Hence,

There are 3.42 moles of MgCl2 in 326g of the compound.

Have a nice day!
