A sample of 0.7 moles of metal 'M' reacts completely with an excess of fluorine to form 45g of MF2. How many moles of F are present in it?

Correct answer: A. 1.4 moles

  • A. 1.4 moles
  • B. 2.4 moles
  • C. 2 moles
  • D. 1.2 moles

Explanation

1 mole of metal formed one mole of MF2 molecule ∴ 0.7 mole of metal formed = 0.7 mole MF2 molecule ∵ Each molecule of MF2 contains = 2F atoms ∴ 0.7 mole of MF2 molecule contains = 2 x 0.7 moles of F atom = 1.4 mole of F atom Hence, 45 g of MF2 molecule contains 1.4 moles 'F' atom.
