Help with moles

How do I solve this:
1.Find the mass of 120 cubic cm of chlorine
2.Find the volume of 0.1 moles of fluorine
3.How many moles are in 2000 cubic cm and 2 mol cubic dm of NaCl (aq)
I need all the help I can get!! I really don't understand moles!
:confused:


where did you get these questions from? :s-smilie:

Thanks so much!:smile: I've been struggling with them since ages...:mad:
as much as i know, i've come up with these answers
for Q1 - you cant work out the mass because you've only got the volume
(you don't have the moles or the concentration)

for Q2 - you can't find the volume because you don't have the concentration
(remember the formula: volume = moles / concentration )

for Q3 - to work out the moles, you need to use this formula:
concentration = moles / volume
and so when you rearrange this to find moles, you're formula should look like this: moles = concentration x volume

so,
(to convert cm cubed into dm cubed we have to divide by 1000)

(2000/1000) x 2 = 4 moles :smile:

hope this helps*
Check them regularly and make sure you seek advice if they change colour or shape suddenly . . .

What??????:confused:
OMG. We were talking about the chemical version of moles not those on the skin...

no problem :smile:

mole questions arent that hard, just remember 2 things:
- the formula's
- conversions (cm3 into dm3 ect..)

Oh really. Sorry. It's not like I was being irreverent or tongue-in-cheek or anything . . .

I'll try...I have two more pages of these to solve! I need divine intervention now but anyways, thanks a lot!!:smile:

I imagine kinji is using the assumption of 1 mole of any gas occupies 24dm3 under standard conditions if it's school level questions.
Moles * 24 = volume of gas (dm3) is your equation to use to find out the first two.

Thanks for that!:smile:
