Answer:
Mass = 89.97 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of chloride ions = 1.98 mol
Mass in grams of MgCl₂ present = ?
Solution:
we can see that 1 mole of MgCl₂ contain 2 moles of chloride ions. Thus 1.89 moles of chloride ions contain moles of MgCl₂ are,
Cl₂ : MgCl₂
2 : 1
1.89 : 1/2×1.89 = 0.945
Thus, 1.89 moles of chloride ions are provided by 0.945 moles of MgCl₂.
Mass of MgCl₂:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.945 mol × 95.211 g/mol
Mass = 89.97 g
