Answer:

3.26mole

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of fluorine = 62g

Unknown:

Number of moles in one tube = ?

Solution:

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

We can find the number of moles of a substance by;

Number of moles =
(mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of Fluorine = 19g/mol

Substitute in the equation:

Number of moles =
(62)/(19) = 3.26mole
