of paper. How many grams of solute is present in 0.4 moles Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH], in 550 g water ,
H. 0? The molar mass of Me(OH), is 58 g/ mol . Given : Solution :
used the fraction term
Grams of solute in 0.4 moles of Mg(OH)2 in 550 g of H2O = 23.2 g
Step-by-step explanation
Given;
Moles of solute (Mg(OH)2) = 0.4 mol
Molar mass of Mg(OH)2 = 58 g/mol
Mass of the solute (Mg(OH)2) = ?
Solution
Mass = moles*molar mass
Mass of the solute (Mg(OH)2) = 0.4 mol*58 g/mol
Mass of the solute (Mg(OH)2) = 23.2 g
So,
Grams of solute in 0.4 moles of Mg(OH)2 in 550 g of H2O = 23.2 g
