if a sample of magnesium has a mass of 60 g, how many moles of magnesium does the sample contain
1 mole of Mg ------------ 24,3g
x moles of Mg-------------60g
x = 2,47 moles of Mg
answer: 2,47 moles of magnesium
Answer : The moles of magnesium will be, 2.5 moles
Explanation : Given,
Mass of magnesium = 60 g
Molar mass of magnesium = 24 g/mole
Formula used :
\(\text{Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{Mass of }Mg}{\text{Molar mass of }Mg}\)
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the moles of magnesium.
\(\text{Moles of }Mg=\frac{60g}{24g/mole}=2.5mole\)
Therefore, the moles of magnesium will be, 2.5 moles
