Explanation:
Molar mass of AlCl3 = 133.34g/mol
Moles of AlCl3 used
= 20.0g / (133.34g/mol) = 0.150mol
Mole Ratio of AlCl3 to Cl2 = 2 : 3,
Moles of Cl2 produced
= 0.150mol * (3/2) = 0.225mol
We know that 1 mole of any gas has
6.023 * 10²³ molecules.
Hence, number of molecules in Cl2
= 0.225mol * (6.023 * 10²³/mol)
= 1.35 * 10²³ molecules. (C)
