Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here are the solutions to your chemistry problems:

  1. Calculate the molar mass of Mg(OH)2\text{Mg(OH)}_2
  1. Identify the atomic masses of each element.

    • Magnesium (Mg): 24.31 g/mol24.31 \, \text{g/mol}
    • Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol16.00 \, \text{g/mol}
    • Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol1.01 \, \text{g/mol}
  2. Calculate the molar mass using the chemical formula Mg(OH)2\text{Mg(OH)}_2.

    The formula indicates 1 Mg atom, 2 O atoms, and 2 H atoms.
    $$
    \text{Molar mass of Mg(OH)}_2 = (1 \times \text{Mg}) + (2 \times \text{O}) + (2 \times \text{H})
    $$
    $$
    \text{Molar mass} = (1 \times 24.31 \, \text{g/mol}) + (2 \times 16.00 \, \text{g/mol}) + (2 \times 1.01 \, \text{g/mol})
    $$
    $$
    \text{Molar mass} = 24.31 \, \text{g/mol} + 32.00 \, \text{g/mol} + 2.02 \, \text{g/mol}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Molar mass} = 58.33 \, \text{g/mol}
    $$
    The molar mass of $\text{Mg(OH)}_2$ is $\boxed{\text{58.33 g/mol}}$.
    

    2. Calculate how many moles are present in 34g of Ca(OH)2\text{Ca(OH)}_2

  3. Identify the atomic masses of each element.

    • Calcium (Ca): 40.08 g/mol40.08 \, \text{g/mol}
    • Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol16.00 \, \text{g/mol}
    • Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol1.01 \, \text{g/mol}
  4. Calculate the molar mass of Ca(OH)2\text{Ca(OH)}_2.

    The formula indicates 1 Ca atom, 2 O atoms, and 2 H atoms.
    $$
    \text{Molar mass of Ca(OH)}_2 = (1 \times \text{Ca}) + (2 \times \text{O}) + (2 \times \text{H})
    $$
    $$
    \text{Molar mass} = (1 \times 40.08 \, \text{g/mol}) + (2 \times 16.00 \, \text{g/mol}) + (2 \times 1.01 \, \text{g/mol})
    $$
    $$
    \text{Molar mass} = 40.08 \, \text{g/mol} + 32.00 \, \text{g/mol} + 2.02 \, \text{g/mol}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Molar mass} = 74.10 \, \text{g/mol}
    $$
    
  5. Calculate the number of moles using the given mass and the molar mass.

    The formula for the number of moles ($n$) is:
    $$
    n = \frac{\text{given mass (m)}}{\text{molar mass (M)}}
    $$
    $$
    n = \frac{34 \, \text{g}}{74.10 \, \text{g/mol}}
    $$
    $$
    n \approx 0.4588 \, \text{mol}
    $$
    Approximately $\boxed{\text{0.459 moles}}$ are present in 34g of $\text{Ca(OH)}_2$.
