A chemist measures the amount of chlorine gas produced during an experiment. He finds that 98.2 of chlorine gas is produced. Calculate the number of moles of chlorine gas produced.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1.385\ \text{moles}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]m[/tex] = Mass of chlorine gas produced = [tex]98.2\ \text{g}[/tex]

[tex]M[/tex] = Molar mass of chlorine gas [tex]Cl_2[/tex] = [tex]70.9\ \text{g/mol}[/tex]

Number of moles is given by

[tex]n=\dfrac{m}{M}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{98.2}{70.9}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow n=1.385\ \text{moles}[/tex]

Number of moles of chlorine gas produced is [tex]1.385\ \text{moles}[/tex].
