Question

An ice freezer behind a restaurant has a freon leak, releasing 45.38 g of C2H2F3Cl into the air every week. If the leak is not

fixed, how many kilograms of fluorine will be released into the air over 6 months? Assume there are 4 weeks in a month.
mass of fluorine leaked over 6 months

Answer 1

Answer: 261.5 g of fluorine was released into the air in 6 month

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic mass of the compound is 158g

fluorine makes up 24.0% of this compound.

over the 6-month period, 1089 g of this compound is leaked (# weeks x 45.38g)
