(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass percent of chlorine in CCl3F(Freon-11) molecule has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Molar mass: It is obtained by dividing the mass of substance with the amount of substance and the S.I. unit of molar mass is kg/mol. It is numerically equal to the molecular weight since molecular weight is sum of all individual atom weight present in molecule which is represented in amu.

  Molarmass(g/mol)=Givenmassofsubstance(g)Molesofsubstance(mol)

Molar mass of H2O can be determined as follows,

MolarmassofH2O=(2×1g)MassoftwoHydrogen+(16g)massofoneOxygen=18g/mol

Mass ratio of a compound with formula AB can be determined as follows,

MassratioofA=100.0gAB×MassofAMassofAB

Mass percentage will give an idea about how many parts exist in every 100 parts of the whole substance.

Mass percentage of a compound with formula AB can be determined as follows,

MasspercentofA=MassofAMassofAB×100

Explanation of Solution

Given molecule is CCl3F(Freon-11) and its molar mass is 137.5 g/mole and this value can be taken as the total mass of the compound to find the mass percentage of any element in it.

Molar mass of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol and there are three chlorine atoms in the given Freon-11 molecule.

The mass percent of chlorine in CCl3F(Freon-11) can be calculated as follows,

MasspercentofCl=3×(35.5g/mol)12.0g/mol+(35.5g/mol)+19.0g/mol×100=77.5%

Explanation of Solution

Given molecule is CCl3F2(Freon-12) and its molar mass is 156.5 g/mole and this value can be taken as the total mass of the compound to find the mass percentage of any element in it.

Molar mass of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol and there are three chlorine atoms in the given Freon-12 molecule.

The mass percent of chlorine in CCl3F2(Freon-12) can be calculated as follows,

MasspercentofCl=3×(35.5g/mol)12.0g/mol+(35.5g/mol)+2×19.0g/mol×100=58.7%

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum mass of chlorine that could be released in the stratosphere by 100 g of Freon-11 and Freon -12 has to be calculated.

Explanation of Solution

The mass percentage of chlorine in Freon-11 and Freon -12 are 77.5%and58.7% respectively.

And so, the maximum mass of chorine that could be released in the stratospher by 100 g of each compound will be 77.5 g and 58.7 g respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of atoms in 77.5 g and 58.7 g of chlorine has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Molar mass: It is obtained by dividing the mass of substance with the amount of substance and the S.I. unit of molar mass is kg/mol. It is numerically equal to the molecular weight since molecular weight is sum of all individual atom weight present in molecule which is represented in amu.

Explanation of Solution

The mass percentage of chlorine in Freon-11 and Freon -12 are 77.5%and58.7% respectively.

And so, the maximum mass of chorine that could be released in the stratospher by 100 g of each compound will be 77.5 g and 58.7 g respectively.

The number of chlorine atoms in these masses can be calculated as follows,

In Freon-11

77.5gCl35.5g/molCl×6.02×1023atoms=1.3×1024Clatoms

In Freon-12

58.7gCl35.5g/molCl×6.02×1023atoms=1.0×1024Clatoms
