Element | Total atoms | Atomic mass | Total mass |
---|---|---|---|
Cl (Chlorine) | 2 | 35.453 | 70.906 |
Hg (Mercury) | 1 | 200.59 | 200.59 |
271.496 |
- Mr[HgCl2] = Ar[Cl] * 2 + Ar[Hg] = 35.453 * 2 + 200.59 = 271.496
- Molar mass (kg/mol) = Mr[HgCl2] : 1000 = 271.496 : 1000 = 0.2715 kg/mol
- Chlorine (Cl) = 70.906 : 271.496 * 100 = 26.117 %
- Mercury (Hg) = 200.59 : 271.496 * 100 = 73.883 %
