(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.

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

The relation between the number of moles and mass of the substance is,

Numberofmole=MassingramMolarmass

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
