Question

A chemist measures the amount of fluorine gas produced during an experiment. She finds that 51.3 g of fluorine gas is produced. Calculate the number of moles of the fluorine gas produced. Be sure your answer is correct navigate digits.?mol

Answer 1

1) Write the formula of Fluorine gas.

`F_2`

2) Convert grams of Fluorine gas to moles of Fluorine gas.

`\text{moles of F}_2\text{ = }51.3gramsofF_2\cdot(1moleofF_2)/(37.997gramsofF_2)=1.35molesofF_2`

The number of moles of fluorine gas produced in the experiment is 1.35 moles
