mass of carbonic acid = 300g
molar mass of H2CO3 = 2H + C + 3 O
= 2 x 1.008+ 12.01 + 3 x 16
= 62.03g/mol
moles of H2CO3 = mass/Molar mass
= 300/62.03
= 4.8364 moles
1 mole H2CO3 has 3 moles Oxygen
4.8364 moles H2CO3 contains
= 3 x 4.8364 moles Oxygen = 14.509 moles Oxygen
moles = mass/Molar mass
mass of oxygen = moles x Molar mass of Oxygen
= 14.509 x 16
= 232.15g Oxygen
mass of oxygen in 300g of carbonic acid(H2CO3) = 232.15g
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of fluorine = 18.99 grams
molecular mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore:
one mole of CF2Cl2 = 12 + 2(18.99) + 2(35.5) = 120.98 grams
Therefore, we can use cross multiplication to find the number of moles in 79.34 grams as follows:
mass = (79.34 x 1) / 120.98 = 0.6558 moles
Now, one mole contains 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, therefore:
number of molecules in 0.65548 moles = 0.6558 x 6.022 x 10^23
= 3.949 x 10^23 molecules
