Determine the number of grams of magnesium oxide if you have 2.63 moles of magnesium oxide.

The number of grams of Magnesium oxide= 106 g

Given

2.63 moles of Magnesium oxide

Required

mass of Magnesium oxide

Solution

The mole is the number of particles contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³

Moles can also be determined from the amount of substance mass and its molar mass

Mol = mass : Molar mass

Mass of Magnesium oxide(MgO, MW=40.304 g/mol) :

= mol x MW

= 2.63 x 40.304

= 106 g

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
