Calculate the mass of chloroform that contains 1.00X10^12 molecules of chloroform

Verified Answer :


Molar mass of chloroform (CHCl3)
C = 1 12 = 12 a.m.u

H = 1
1 = 1 a.m.u

Cl = 3 * 35.5 = 106.5 a.m.u

 Molar Mass (CHCl3) = 12 + 1 + 106.5 = 119.5 g / mol

 
Knowing that:
The value of Avogadro's constant corresponds to approximately 
\(6,02*10^{23}\) molecules, if chloroform contains \(1,00 * 10^{12}\) molecules.  
We have:

 
\(1,00 * 10^{12} * 6,02 * 10^{23} = 6,02 * 10 ^ {35} molecules\)
 
Now, how many grams are there in the chloroform molecule?



grams -------- molecules
119,5 
→ \(6,02 * 10^{23}\)
x → \(6,02 * 10^{35}\)

\(6,02 * 10 ^ {23} * x = 119,5 * 6,02 * 10 ^{35}\)
\(6,02 * 10 ^ {23}x = 719,39 * 10^{35}\)
\(x = \frac{719,39}{6,02}*10^{35-23}\)
\(\boxed{x = 119,5*10^{12}grams}\)
