Question

4.80 x 10^25 formula units pf calcium iodide (Cal2) will have what mass?

Answer 1

mass CaI2 = 23.424 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the periodic table we obtain for CaI2:

⇒ molecular mass CaI2: 40.078 + ((2)(126.90)) = 293.878 g/mol

∴ mol CaI2 = (4.80 E25 units )×(mol/6.022 E23 units) = 79.708 mol CaI2

⇒ mass CaI2 = (79.708 mol CaI2)×(293.878 g/mol) = 23424.43 g

⇒ mass CaI2 = 23.424 Kg
