Answer: The number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium carbonate is [tex]48.4771\times 10^{23}[/tex]
Explanation:
Formula units is defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex]
We are given:
Number of moles of magnesium carbonate = 8.05 moles
Number of formula units = [tex]8.05\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=48.4771\times 10^{23}[/tex]
Hence, the number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium carbonate is [tex]48.4771\times 10^{23}[/tex]
