If you have 23.8g of CaCl2, how many formula units is it

1.3×10²³ formula unit

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaCl₂ = 23.8 g

Number of formula unit = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 23.8 g/110.98 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.21 mol

1 mole of any substance contain 6.022×10²³ formula unit

0.21 mol × 6.022×10²³ formula unit / 1mol

1.3×10²³ formula unit

6.4 cm (max) - 25 cm (min)

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
