Question

Convert 8.05 moles of magnesium carbonate to formula units.

Answer 1

Answer: The number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium carbonate is
`48.4771* 10^(23)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula units is defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is
`6.022* 10^(23)`

We are given:

Number of moles of magnesium carbonate = 8.05 moles

Number of formula units =
`8.05* 6.022* 10^(23)=48.4771* 10^(23)`

Hence, the number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium carbonate is
`48.4771* 10^(23)`
