A sample of CaCl2•2 H2O (calcium chloride dihydrate) contains 3.46x1021 atoms of chlorine. What is the mass of this sample in mg? Enter your mass ROUNDED to 3 significant figures. Do not enter the mg units. (written work)
Molecular weight of
is 147.01 g/mol.
1 mol of
contain 2 mol of Cl atoms =
no. of atoms.
If
contain
atoms of chlorine then there will be
no. of
atoms.
atoms are there in 1 mol of
then
atoms are there in
mol of
mol of
=
So the mass of sample is 422 mg.
