Chapter 7: Problem 65

Chlorine gas is a diatomic molecule, \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) . There are 6.00 \(\mathrm{mol}\) of chlorine atoms in a sample of chlorine gas. How many moles of chlorine gas molecules is this?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Therefore, there are 3 moles of chlorine gas molecules.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the problem

Identify that chlorine gas is a diatomic molecule, meaning that each molecule is comprised of two chlorine atoms. We have the total moles of chlorine atoms and we need to find out how many moles of chlorine gas molecules this corresponds to.
02

Apply the mole concept

Recall that diatomic means two atoms make up one molecule. Therefore, two moles of atoms will make up one mole of a diatomic gas.
03

Perform the calculation

Use the provided number of moles of chlorine atoms (6 moles) and the information that one mole of chlorine gas is made up of two moles of chlorine atoms to find the number of moles of chlorine gas. Hence, the number of moles of chlorine gas is \( \frac{6}{2} = 3 \) moles.
