1. Find the molar mass of HCl:
* Hydrogen (H) has a molar mass of approximately 1.01 g/mol.
* Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of approximately 35.45 g/mol.
* The molar mass of HCl is 1.01 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 36.46 g/mol
2. Use the formula:
* Moles (n) = Mass (m) / Molar Mass (M)
3. Plug in the values:
* n = 21.2 g / 36.46 g/mol
* n ≈ 0.582 moles
Therefore, there are approximately 0.582 moles of hydrogen chloride in 21.2 g.
