Question

calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051g of aluminium oxide

Answer 1

0.027g of aluminium ions =6.022×10^20

Answer 2

hi

1 mole of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) = 2*27 + 3 * 16

= 102 g

i.e., 102 g of Al2O3 = 6.022 * 1023 molecules of Al2O3

Then, 0.051 g of Al2O3 contains =6.022×10^23 × 0.051 ÷ 102.

= 3.011 * 1020 molecules of Al2O3

The number of aluminium ions (Al3+) present in one molecule of aluminium oxide is 2.

Therefore, the number of aluminium ions (Al3+) present in 3.011 * 1020 molecules (0.051 g ) of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) = 2 * 3.011 * 1020

= 6.022 * 1020
