Question

How many grams of Cl are in 31.2g CF2Cl2

Answer 1

Mass = 42.6 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CF₂Cl₂ = 31.2 g

Mass of Cl₂ = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CF₂Cl₂ = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 31.2 g/121 gmol

Number of moles = 0.3 mol

1 mole of CF₂Cl₂ contain 2 moles of Cl atom.

0.3 mol × 2 = 0.6 mol

Mass of Cl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.6 mol × 71 g/mol

Mass = 42.6 g
