How many atoms are in 150 moles of fluorine gas?

To find the number of atoms in 150 moles of fluorine gas (F₂), we need to first understand how moles relate to atoms.

One mole of any substance contains Avogadro’s number of entities, which is approximately 6.022 x 10²³. For fluorine gas, which is diatomic, each mole of F₂ contains two atoms of fluorine.

So, for 150 moles of F₂:

1. Calculate the total number of moles of fluorine atoms:

150 moles of F₂ x 2 atoms/mole = 300 moles of fluorine atoms

2. Now, convert moles of atoms to number of atoms using Avogadro’s number:

300 moles x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mole = 1.8066 x 10²⁶ atoms

Thus, there are approximately 1.8066 x 10²⁶ atoms in 150 moles of fluorine gas.
