1. Calculate the molar mass of CF4
* Carbon (C) has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol
* Fluorine (F) has a molar mass of 19.00 g/mol
* Molar mass of CF4 = 12.01 + (4 * 19.00) = 88.01 g/mol
2. Calculate the moles of CF4
* Moles = Mass / Molar mass
* Moles of CF4 = 65 g / 88.01 g/mol = 0.738 mol
3. Calculate the moles of fluorine atoms
* There are 4 fluorine atoms per molecule of CF4.
* Moles of fluorine atoms = 0.738 mol CF4 * (4 mol F atoms / 1 mol CF4) = 2.95 mol F atoms
4. Calculate the number of fluorine atoms
* Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
* Number of fluorine atoms = 2.95 mol * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol = 1.78 x 10^24 atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 1.78 x 10^24 fluorine atoms in 65g of CF4.
