Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Magnesium sulfate?
The molar mass of Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is 120.361 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 6 atoms in one formula unit: 4 × 15.999 + 1 × 32.060 + 1 × 24.305 = 120.361.
What is the molecular weight of Magnesium sulfate?
120.361 — 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 120.36 and a molar mass of 120.36 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Magnesium sulfate?
100 ÷ 120.361 = 0.8308 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Magnesium sulfate?
By mass, Magnesium sulfate is 53.17% oxygen, 26.64% sulfur, 20.19% magnesium. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 120.361.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Magnesium sulfate?
6: 4 oxygen, 1 sulfur, 1 magnesium. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Magnesium sulfate contains 6 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
