Determining the identity of substances is a critical part of chemistry because once the substance's identity is known, we can predict its behavior and understand the scenarios that it is involved in better.
For example, consider an industrial pipe where fouling (scaling) is occurring. If the compounds present in the scales are identified, steps may be taken to prevent and remove the scaling. This is one of many examples where identifying chemical substances is of high importance.

What is the percent by mass of Fluorine in Nitrogen triflouride NF3?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 80.3%

Explanation:

Data

Percent by mass of F

molecules NF₃

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of nitrogen trifluoride

molar mass = (1 x 14) + (19 x 3)

                    = 14 + 57

                    = 71 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplications to find the percent by mass of F. The molar mass of NF₃ is equal to 100%.

                       71 g of NF₃ ------------------ 100%

                       57 g of F   ------------------- x

                            x = (57 x 100)/71

                            x = 5700 / 71

                            x = 80.3%

3.- Conclusion

Fluorine is 80.3% by mass of the molecule NF₃

Determine the number of grams in each of the quantities<br><br> 1.39.0 x 1024 molecules Cl2
STatiana [176]

Mass of Cl₂ : 164.01 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions)  in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12  which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles  

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

mol Cl₂ :

\tt n=\dfrac{N}{No}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.39.10^{24}}{6.02.10^{23}}\\\\n=2.31

mass Cl₂(MW=71 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=2.31\times 71=164.01
