Hello, in this question we have been asked, what is the number of atoms in 123 grams of magnesium cyanide? right.
00:09
So first of all, the formula of magnesium cyanide is mgcn2, right? and we have been given 123 grams of magnesium cyanide.
00:18
So what is the first step? we find the molar mass of magnesium cyanide, which comes out to 76 grams per mole.
00:26
Okay, so because we have to look at the periodic table, find the molar mass.
00:30
Using the values of the atomic mass from there.
00:33
So magnesium is 24, carbon is 12 and there are two atoms of carbon and nitrogen is 14 and there are two atoms of nitrogen.
00:42
So it will come to 76 grams per mole.
00:45
Okay now using evergretro's law we understand that 76 gram of magnesium cyanide corresponds to 6 .022 into 10 to 23 molecules.
00:56
Right now we have been given 123 grams of magnesium cyanide.
01:01
So we assume that it has got x molecules.
01:05
So x will be 6 .022 into 203 multiplied by 123 divided by 76.
01:13
So when we solve this we get 9 .75 into 10 to 23 molecules.
01:17
Right...
