asked 01/22/21How many moles are in 25 liters of MgS?
1 Expert Answer
To answer this question you would need a conversion factor between moles and liters (volume).
This could be molar volume (given in Moles/Liter for example)
Another route would be to use the density of MgS (g/mL)
Finally, you need to determine the molar mass of MgS. This is equal to mass of Mg + S from periodic table = (24.305 + 32.065) = 56.38 g/mol
For example, let's assume MgS has a density of 5 g/mL (it doesn't, but just using easy numbers)
25 L MgS x 1000mL MgS x 5 g MgS x 1 mole MgS = 2,217 moles of MgS (ignoring sig figs)
1 L MgS 1mL MgS 56.38 g MgS
note dimensional analysis below
25 L MgS x 1000 mL MgS x 5 g MgS x 1 mole MgS = 2,217 moles of MgS (ignoring sig figs)
1 L MgS 1mL MgS 56.38 g MgS
