How to Calculate Mass and Density of Fluorine and Chlorine
Step 1: Find the atomic mass of fluorine and chlorine. Fluorine has an atomic mass of 19.00 g/mol and chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.45 g/mol.
Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of each element by multiplying their atomic mass by Avogadro's number which is 6.022 * 10^23 atoms/mol.
Step 3: Convert the volume unit from liters to cubic meters. 1 L is equal to 0.001 cubic meters.
Step 4: Find the molar volume of a gas. The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L/mol at standard temperature and pressure (STP) which is 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atm.
Step 5: Use the molar volume of the gas to calculate the number of moles of gas. Divide the volume of the gas (1 L) by the molar volume of the gas (22.4 L/mol).
Step 6: Multiply the number of moles of gas by the molar mass of each element to find their masses.
Step 7: To find the density, divide the mass of each element by the volume of the gas in cubic meters (which was converted from liters in step 3).
Therefore, the mass of 1 L of fluorine is 1.216 g and the density of fluorine gas is 1216 kg/m^3. The mass of 1 L of chlorine is 2.371 g and the density of chlorine gas is 2371 kg/m^3. Make sure to use the appropriate unit conversions and follow the steps carefully for accurate results!
