How many moles of \(\mathrm{MgCl}_{2}\) are present in \(60.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.100 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{MgCl}_{2}\) solution?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The number of moles of \( \mathrm{MgCl}_{2} \) in the solution is 0.0060 moles.

Step by step solution

01

Convert volume to Liters

Since molar concentration is usually given in moles/Liter, it's necessary to convert the volume from milliliters to liters. This is achieved by dividing the given volume by 1000, because 1 Liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Thus, \(60.0 \mathrm{mL} = \frac{60.0}{1000} = 0.060 \mathrm{L}\).
02

Determine the number of moles

Apply the formula of molar concentration defined as \( \mathrm{M} = \frac{moles}{volume} \). From the equation, we can determine the number of moles as \( \mathrm{Moles} = \mathrm{M} * \mathrm{volume} \). Thus, the number of moles of \( \mathrm{MgCl}_{2} \) is \( 0.100 \mathrm{M} * 0.060 \mathrm{L} = 0.0060 \mathrm{moles} \).

Give a chemical explanation for each of these: (a) When calcium metal is added to a sulfuric acid solution, hydrogen gas is generated. After a few minutes, the reaction slows down and eventually stops even though none of the reactants is used up. Explain. (b) In the activity series aluminum is above hydrogen, yet the metal appears to be unreactive toward steam and hydrochloric acid. Why?
