  • Calculating Moles of Magnesium Sulfite (MgS₂O₃): A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of moles of MgS2O3 in 211 g:

    1. Find the molar mass of MgS2O3:

    * Mg: 24.31 g/mol

    * S: 32.06 g/mol (x2 = 64.12 g/mol)

    * O: 16.00 g/mol (x3 = 48.00 g/mol)

    Total molar mass = 24.31 + 64.12 + 48.00 = 136.43 g/mol

    2. Use the formula: moles = mass / molar mass

    * moles = 211 g / 136.43 g/mol

    * moles ≈ 1.55 mol

    Therefore, there are approximately 1.55 moles of MgS2O3 in 211 g of the compound.
