The number of ions in 17.1 gm of aluminum sulphate Al2 (SO4)3 =….. [Molar mass of Al2 (SO4)3 = 342 gm]

Sagot :

Answer:

1.51 X 10^23 ions

Explanation:

The number of ions in 17.1 gm of aluminum sulphate Al2 (SO4)3 =….. [Molar mass of Al2 (SO4)3 = 342 gm]

in one molecule of Al2(SO4)3 there are 5 ions 2 aluminum and 3 sulfate ions

in 2 molecules there are 2X5= 10 ions

in 10 molecules there are 10X5 = 50 ions

molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = (2 X 26.98) +( 3 X 32.1) + (3 X 4 X 16.0 ) =342.gms = 17.1/342 =0.0500 moles

1  mole =6.02 X 10^23 molecules ( see Avogadros number)

0.0500 moles = 0.0500 X 6.02 X 10^23 molecules =

0.301 X 10^23 molecules = 3.01 X 10^22 molecules

We determined that each molecule of Al2(SO4)3 has 5 ions

so 3.01 X10^22 molecules have 5 X 3.01 X 10^22 ions =

15.05 X 10^22 ions = 1.51 X 10^23 ions
