Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Copper(II) chloride?
The molar mass of Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) is 134.446 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 3 atoms in one formula unit: 2 × 35.450 + 1 × 63.546 = 134.446.
What is the molecular weight of Copper(II) chloride?
134.446 — 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 134.45 and a molar mass of 134.45 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Copper(II) chloride?
100 ÷ 134.446 = 0.7438 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Copper(II) chloride?
By mass, Copper(II) chloride is 52.73% chlorine, 47.27% copper. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 134.446.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Copper(II) chloride?
3: 2 chlorine, 1 copper. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Copper(II) chloride contains 3 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
