A $100.0 \mathrm{~g}$ portion of the chlorofluorocarbon gas (preceding question) was found to occupy $25.3 \mathrm{~L}$ at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $1.000 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure. Assuming that the gas behaved ideally and using the ideal gas equation, how many moles of the gas are in 100.0 of Freon? What is its molar mass? What is its molecular formula? (To answer this question it may be necessary to refer back to a discussion of the gas laws in Section 2.6).

Key Concepts

Mole Concept

The mole is a unit that measures the amount of substance, defined as Avogadro's number of entities, approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles. It provides a bridge between the atomic scale and macroscopic measurements, making it crucial for converting between mass and number of molecules.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It serves as a conversion factor between the mass of a substance and the number of moles, which is essential in quantitative analyses and chemical calculations.

Ideal Gas Law

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas to its amount in moles. It is used to calculate one of these variables when the others are known, and is a fundamental tool in understanding and predicting the behavior of gases under various conditions.

Molecular Formula Determination

Determining a molecular formula involves using the molar mass along with the relative atomic masses of the constituent elements to deduce the actual number of each type of atom in a molecule. This process often follows the identification of an empirical formula from elemental composition data.
