Question

Find the mass, in grams, of 4.10x1023 molecules of F2.

Answer 1

25.88 g of F₂.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of molecules of F₂ = 4.10×10²³ molecules

Mass of F₂ =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of F₂ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of F₂. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of F₂ = 2 × 19 = 38 g

Thus,

38 g of F₂ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 4.10×10²³ molecules of F₂. This can be obtained as follow:

6.02×10²³ molecules = 38 g of F₂

Therefore,

4.10×10²³ molecules = 4.10×10²³ × 38 / 6.02×10²³

4.10×10²³ molecules = 25.88 g

Thus, 25.88 g of F₂ contains 4.10×10²³ molecules.
