Question The mole is defined as the number of atoms in exactly 12gof carbon-12. The mole equals6.022×1023items of whatever you are counting. This number is also calledAvogadro’s number, after Amadeo Avogadro (1776–1856). Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of atoms of an element; for compounds, molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of molecules or formula units. Molar mass can be used to convert mass to moles for any element or compound. How many formula units make up 13.6 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)? Express the number of formula units numerically.
