Frequently Asked Questions

What is the molar mass of Aluminium chloride?

The molar mass of Aluminium chloride (AlCl3) is 133.332 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 4 atoms in one formula unit: 3 × 35.450 + 1 × 26.982 = 133.332.

What is the molecular weight of Aluminium chloride?

133.332 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 133.33 and a molar mass of 133.33 g/mol are the same answer.

How many moles are in 100 g of Aluminium chloride?

100 ÷ 133.332 = 0.7500 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.

What is the percent composition of Aluminium chloride?

By mass, Aluminium chloride is 79.76% chlorine, 20.24% aluminum. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 133.332.

How many atoms are in one formula unit of Aluminium chloride?

4: 3 chlorine, 1 aluminum. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Aluminium chloride contains 4 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
