There are 4 atoms of aluminum in 2Al2O3. Each formula unit of Al2O3 contains 2 atoms of aluminum. Therefore, when we have 2 formula units (2Al2O3), we have a total of 4 aluminum atoms.
Assuming that the number "9.871023" would or should have been written as "9.87 X 1023" if the typographical resources to do so were available to the questioner: Avogadro's Number, which is the number of formula units in a mole of any material, is about 6.022 X 1023. The gram formula mass for aluminum oxide is 101.96. Therefore, the mass of the stated number of formula units of aluminum oxide is: 101.96(9.87/6.022) or about 164 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.
1 formula unit of aluminum sulfate has the formula Al2(SO4)3. So there are 2 atoms of aluminum, 3 atoms of sulfur and 12 atoms of oxygen in 1 formula unit of aluminum sulfate. There are no molecules of aluminum sulfate. They are called formula units.
The formula for chromium(III) sulfate is Cr2(SO4)3. The subscript after the parentheses in this formula means that all the atoms inside it occur as many times as the subscript. Therefore, the total number of atoms in this formula is 2 + 3(1 + 4) = 2 + (3 X 5) = 17.
The atomic mass of chromium is approximately 51.996 u (unified atomic mass units).
The formula mass of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is approximately 102 atomic mass units.
Chromium has an atomic weight of approximately 51.9961 atomic mass units (amu). This value reflects the weighted average of the isotopes of chromium found in nature, primarily chromium-52, chromium-53, and chromium-54. The atomic weight is often rounded to 52.00 for simplicity in many contexts.
The chemical equation is Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2 --> 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4. (I corrected the formulas containing aluminum.)
K2Cr2O7 is a formula unit because it represents the simplest whole-number ratio of ions in the compound potassium dichromate. Formula units are used for ionic compounds, while molecules are used for covalent compounds.
In the chemical formula (4\text{AI}_2\text{O}_3), the "4" indicates that there are four units of aluminum oxide ((\text{AI}_2\text{O}_3)). This means that the compound consists of four molecules of aluminum oxide, which contains a total of eight aluminum atoms and twelve oxygen atoms when considering the subscripts in the formula.
define the following write the units and formula
The oxidation number of chromium changes from +6 in Na2Cr2O7 to +3 in CrCl3. This represents a reduction in oxidation number by three units.
