Answer:

The answer to your question is: 2.20 x 10 ²³ molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass = 45.7 g

molecules of CF₂Cl₂ = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the mass number of CF₂Cl₂

C = 12 F =2 x 19 Cl = 2 x 35.5

total = 12 + 38 + 71

total = 121 g

2.- Use the Avogradro's number to solve the problem

121 g ------------------- 6.023 x 10²³ molecules of CF₂Cl₂

45.7 g --------------- x

x = (45.7 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 121

x = 2.75 x 10²⁵ / 121

x = 2.20 x 10 ²³ molecules
