How many molecules of cf₂cl₂ are in 45.7 grams of cf₂cl₂? (show work)

The answer to your question is: 2.20 x 10 ²³ molecules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 45.7 g

molecules of CF₂Cl₂ = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the mass number of CF₂Cl₂

   C = 12    F =2 x 19    Cl = 2 x 35.5

   total = 12 + 38 + 71

   total = 121 g

2.- Use the Avogradro's number to solve the problem

                       121 g  6.023 x 10²³ molecules of CF₂Cl₂

                        45.7 g     x

                        x = (45.7 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 121

                        x = 2.75 x 10²⁵ / 121

                        x = 2.20 x 10 ²³ molecules

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.
