Question

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.40 moles moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2Mg(ClO4)2. Express the number of moles of MgM, Cl Cl, and OO atoms numerically, separated by commas.

Answer 1

Answer:Moles of Mg, Cl, 0 = 5.40, 10.80, 43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of Mg(ClO4)2 contains 1 mole of Magnesium, Mg atoms

2 Moles of Chlorine, Cl atoms

8 Molresof Oxygen atoms

Such that to find the number of moles of each element, We have that

------1 mole Magnesum atoms/ 1 mol of Mg(ClO4)2 x 5.40 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2 = 1 x 5.40 =5.40 moles

------2 moles ofChlorine atoms/ 1 mol of Mg(ClO4)2 x 5.40 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2 = 2 x 5.40 = 10.80 moles

------8 moles Oxygen atoms/ 1 mol of Mg(ClO4)2 x 5.40 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2 = 8 x 5.40 = 43.2 moles
