The transition metal ion forms a green-coloured compound when combined with a ligand. If moles of ions react with excess ligand, what mass of the green-coloured compound will be formed? (The compound's molar mass is 300 g/mol)
7.5 g
0.75 g
75 g
0.075 g
To determine the mass of the green-coloured compound formed, we need to use the concept of moles and molar mass. First, we calculate the number of moles of ions:
Number of moles given mass divided by the molar mass
Number of moles
Since the ions react with excess ligand, all the moles of ions will form the green-coloured compound. Therefore, the number of moles of the green-coloured compound is also moles.
Now, we can calculate the mass of the compound using the equation:
Mass is calculated as moles multiplied by molar mass.
Hence, the mass of the green-coloured compound formed is 7.5 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1) 7.5 g.
