A sample of CH2F2 with a mass of 19g contains how many atoms of F?

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
A sample of CH₂F₂ with a mass of 19 g contains _______ atoms of F.
**Answer Choices:**
- ○ \(2.2 \times 10^{23}\)
- ○ 9.5
- ○ \(3.3 \times 10^{24}\)
- ○ \(4.4 \times 10^{23}\)
- ○ 38
**Explanation:**
To solve this, we need to calculate the number of fluorine atoms in the given mass of CH₂F₂ (difluoromethane).
1. **Find Molar Mass of CH₂F₂:**
- Carbon (C): \(12.01 \, \text{g/mol}\)
- Hydrogen (H): \(1.01 \, \text{g/mol}\), for two H atoms: \(2 \times 1.01 = 2.02 \, \text{g/mol}\)
- Fluorine (F): \(19.00 \, \text{g/mol}\), for two F atoms: \(2 \times 19.00 = 38.00 \, \text{g/mol}\)
- Total molar mass: \(12.01 + 2.02 + 38.00 = 52.03 \, \text{g/mol}\)
2. **Calculate Moles of CH₂F₂:**
- Moles \(= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{19}{52.03} \approx 0.365 \, \text{mol}\)
3. **Calculate Number of Fluorine Atoms:**
- Each molecule of CH₂F₂ contains 2 fluorine atoms.
- Moles of F from CH₂F₂ = \(0.365 \times 2 = 0.73 \, \text{mol of F atoms}\)
- Number of fluorine atoms = \(0.73 \, \text{mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms/mol} \approx 4.4 \times 10^{23} \, \text{atoms}\)
Thus, the correct choice is \(4.4 \times 10^{23}\).
