A chemist determines by measurements that 0.0200 moles of chlorine gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of
1 answer:
Answer:
1.4200 g
Explanation:
The chlorine gas has a molecular formula Cl2. In table periodic, the molar mass of one atom of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol, so the molar mass of Cl2 is 71 g/mol.
Molar mass, mass and number of moles are related by the equation below:
Where n is the number of moles, m is the mass, and MM is the molar mass of the compound.
So, for 0.0200 moles of Cl2 produced:
m = 71x0.0200
m = 1.4200

<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
37% HCl by mass; density 1.19 g/mL
Required
The volume of concentrated HCl
Solution
Conversion to molarity :
37% x 1.19 g/ml =0.4403 g/ml
g/ml to mol/L :
=0.4403 g/ml x 1000 ml/L : 36.5 g/mol
=12.06 mol/L
or we can use formula :
Dilution formula :
M₁V₁=M₂V₂
12.06 M x V₁ = 0.1 M x 0.25 L
V₁ = 0.0021 L = 2.073 ml
