This is the chemical formula for talc (the main ingredient in talcum powder): mg3si2o52oh2 an analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 9.62 moles of magnesium in a sample of talc. how many moles of silicon are in the sample? round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer : 6.41 moles of silicon are in the sample.

Solution : Given,

Moles of magnesium = 9.62 moles

The given chemical formula for talc is,

From the given chemical formula we conclude that

The stoichiometry of magnesium and silicon is 3 : 2

3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of silicon

9.62 moles of magnesium will be equivalent to moles of silicon

Therefore, the number of silicon present in sample are 6.41 moles.

the answer is a. co2, this would be colder than the : )
