How many molecules are in 650.0 g Mg(OH)₂ ?

6.711 × 10²⁴ molecules Mg(OH)₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

650.0 g Mg(OH)₂

Step 2: Define conversions

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of Mg(OH)₂ - 24.31 + 2(16.00) + 2(1.01) = 58.33 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

= 6.71061 × 10²⁴ molecules Mg(OH)₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.

6.71061 × 10²⁴ molecules Mg(OH)₂ ≈ 6.711 × 10²⁴ molecules Mg(OH)₂
