General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Moles
- Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
<u>Stoichiometry</u>
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[Given] 3.50 × 10²⁴ molecules Cl₂
[Solve] grams Cl₂
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Avogadro's Number
[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass of Cl₂ - 2(35.45) = 70.9 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
- [DA] Set up:
- [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>
412.072 g Cl₂ ≈ 412 g Cl₂
