Question

Determine the molecules in 237 g CCI4

Answer 1

The formula mass of carbon tetrachloride is 12.011+4(35.453)=153.823 g/mol.

This means that in 237 g, there are about 237/153.823 = 1.54073188 moles.

There are
`6.022 * 10^(23)` molecules in one mole of any substance, meaning the answer is about
`(1.54073188)(6.02 * 10^(23))=\boxed{9.28 * 10^(23)}` molecules.
