Chapter 6, Problem 130E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of chlorine emitted per year from the air conditioners is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The mass of substance emitted is determined by calculating the moles of compound by using the following conversion factor:$\left(\frac{\text{1 mol compound }}{\text{Molar mass of compound}}\right)$.

The moles of compound are converted to moles of constituent element by the using the stoichiometry of compound and element as the conversion factor:$\left(\frac{\text{ Moles of element}}{\text{1 mol compound}}\right)$.

The moles of element are converted to mass of element by using the following conversion factor:$\left(\frac{\text{Molar mass of element}}{\text{1 mol element}}\right)$ .
