  • Moles of Chlorine Gas: Converting Molecules to Moles - A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Avogadro's Number

    * Avogadro's number is a fundamental constant in chemistry that relates the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in a mole.

    * One mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10^23 particles.

    2. Setting up the Conversion

    We can use Avogadro's number as a conversion factor to go from molecules to moles:

    ```

    (9.02 x 10^23 molecules Cl2) * (1 mole Cl2 / 6.022 x 10^23 molecules Cl2)

    ```

    3. Calculation

    The "molecules Cl2" units cancel out, leaving us with moles of Cl2:

    ```

    = 1.50 moles Cl2

    ```

    Therefore, there are 1.50 moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) in 9.02 x 10^23 molecules.
