  • Calculating the Mass of Dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2) - Step-by-Step
    Here's how to calculate the mass of 0.500 mol of dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2):

    1. Find the molar mass of CCl2F2

    * Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol

    * Chlorine (Cl): 35.45 g/mol (x2 since there are two chlorine atoms)

    * Fluorine (F): 19.00 g/mol (x2 since there are two fluorine atoms)

    Molar mass of CCl2F2 = 12.01 + (35.45 x 2) + (19.00 x 2) = 120.91 g/mol

    2. Use the molar mass and the given moles to find the mass

    * Mass = Moles x Molar Mass

    * Mass = 0.500 mol x 120.91 g/mol

    * Mass = 60.46 g

    Therefore, the mass of 0.500 mol of dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2) is 60.46 g.
