A leak in the air conditioning of an old car releases Chlorofluorocarbons (CF2C\2) into the air.

Each month the car releases 62g of CF2Cl2. How much fluorine is emitted into the air each
YEAR by this car?

Answer:


m_F=234gF

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given that one molecule of CF2Cl2 contains two moles of atoms of fluorine, we can set up the following dimensional analysis to compute the emitted fluorine each year by the considered car:


m_F = (62gCF_2Cl_2)/(1month)*(12months)/(1year)* (1molCF_2Cl_2)/(120.91gCF_2Cl_2)*(2molF)/(1molCF_2Cl_2) *(19.0gF)/(1molF) \\\\m_F=234gF

Best regards!
