- NaCl : Molar mass: 22.99+35.45= 58.44g/mol
Moles of NaCl: 1g/ 58.44 g/mol= 0.0171mol
So, Na= 0.0171 mol
Chlorine: 0.0171 mol
- MgCl2 *6H2O (0.4g)
Molar mass: 24.31+ (2x 35.45) + (6x 18.02)= 203.69 g/mol
moles of MgCl2 *6H2O= 0.4g/ 203.60g/mol= 0.002mol
Therefore, Mg: 0.002 mol
Cl: 0.004 mol
- CaCl2 *2H2O (0.1g)
molar mass: 40.08+ (2x35.45) + (2x 18.02)= 147.02g/mol
Moles of CaCl2 * 2H2O: 0.1g/ 147.02g/mol= 0.00068 mol
So, Ca: 0.00068mol
Cl: 0.00136 mol
- KH₂PO₄ (0.2 g):
- Molar mass: 39.1+(2×1.008)+30.97+(4×15.999)=136.09
Moles of KH₂PO₄: 0.2 g136.09 g/mol=0.00147
Potassium: 0.00147 mol (not a target element)
Phosphorus: 0.00147 mol
Oxygen: Not a target element
- KCl (0.5g)
molar mass: 39.1+35.45=74.55g/mol
moles of KCl: 74.55g/mol0.5g=0.0067mol
So, otassium: 0.0067 mol
Chlorine: 0.0067 mol
- NH4Cl (0.2g)
molar mass: 14.01+(4×1.008)+35.45=53.49g/mol
moles of Nh4Cl: 53.49g/mol0.2g=0.0037mol
Therefore, Nitrogen: 0.0037 mol
- MgSO4 (0.2g)
Molar mass: 24.31+32.07+(4×15.999)=120.37g/mol
moles of MgSO4: 120.37g/mol0.2g=0.00166mol
Therefore, Sulfur: 0.00166mol
