We know two equations that can help as answer:
n = m/Mr
- "n" --> number of moles
- "m" --> mass (kg)
- "Mr" --> molecular mass of the substance
n = V/Vm
- "V" --> volume of gas
- "Vm" --> a constant which value is 22.4 for STP conditions
So, combining the two equations above:
m/Mr = V/Vm
m = V×Mr/Vm
- V = 4.9L
- Mr = 38 *
- Vm = 22.4
m = 8.31 gr
*To calculate the Mr of "F2" we need to multiply by 2 the atomic mass of F, which we can find onlu by looking it up in a table (probaly in the back of a chemistry book, or online). We see that it is equal to 19, so Mr will be equal to 38.
**The equations are derived easily. Lets take for example the first one. 1 mole of the substance contains Mr gr of it. So, how many gr do "n" moles contain?
Answer:
8.31g
Explanation:
First, we calculate the molar mass of F2.
MM of F2 = 2 x 19 = 38g/mol
But,
1mol of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp.
This implies that 1mole(i.e 38g) of F2 occupies 22.4L.
Therefore, Xg of F2 will occupy 4.9L i.e
Xg of F2 = (38 x 4.9) / 22.4
Xg of F2 = 8.31g
Therefore 8.31g of F2 occupies 4.9L
