One mole of solid MgO occupies 22.37 mm on a side. Calculate the density of MgO ( in g/cm^3) ---Steps please
gram molar mass of MgO = 24+16 = 40g/mole
1 mole of solid MgO = 40g
length = 22.37mm [ 1mm = 0.1cm]
= 22.37*0.1cm = 2.237cm
volume = length * length * length
= 2.237cm*2.237cm*2.237cm = 11.194cm^3
The density = mass/volume
= 40g/11.194cm^3
= 3.57g/cm^3 >>>>answer
