1 MOLE OF CHLORINE AND FEW MOST ASKED QUESTIONS

Today we discuss about Chlorine and some most asked questions on Chlorine.

Basic Information About Chlorine

  • Chlorine is an element.
  • Its symbol is Cl .
  • Atomic number 17
  • Molecular formula of chlorine is Cl2
  • It belongs to Halogen group of periodic table.
 Q. What is the atomic number of Chlorine ?
Ans.  Atomic number of Chlorine is 17.
(* Atomic number is the number  of proton present in an atom)
Q. What is the mass number of Chlorine ?
Ans. The mass number of chlorine is 35.
(* Mass number = total number of proton and neutrons present in an atom.)

Q. How many Chlorine atoms are present in a chlorine molecule ?
Ans.  2 chlorine atoms are present in one chlorine molecule. 

Q. How many Chlorine molecules are there in 1 mole of chlorine molecule?
Ans.  1 mole chlorine molecule contains 6.02214×1023 chlorine molecule.

(6.02214 × 1023) is not an ordinary number. This number is known as Avogadro's Number.

1 mole particle of anything contains Avogadro's number of particle of  that thing.

Q.  How many chlorine molecules and atoms are there in 1 mole of chlorine molecules.
Ans.
1 mole of chlorine molecules contains 6.02214×1023 chlorine  molecules.
1 chlorine molecule(Cl2) contain 2 chlorine atom (Cl).
Therefore, 1 mole of chlorine molecule contains
2× 6.02214 × 1023 chlorine atoms.

Q. What is the atomic mass / weight of Cl ?
Ans. Atomic mass / weight of Cl is 35.45

Q.
#  What is the weight of 1 mole chlorine molecule ?
#  What is the weight of 6.02214×1023 number of chlorine molecule?
#  What is the weight of 2×6.02214×1023 number of chlorine atoms ?
Ans.
Above three questions are same. So have same answer.
The weight / mass of the 1 mole chlorine molecules is (2×35.45)g or 70.9g

Since, Chlorine molecule (Cl2) has two atoms, 2 is multiplied with 35.45

Q.  Write some daily life use of Chlorine.
Ans.
  • Chlorine is used in making of disinfectant.
     e.g. Chlorine is used in bleaching power ( Ca(ClO)2 )
  • It is widely used in paper, dyes, medicine industries etc.
  • Chlorine is used to purify water.  
Q.  Name a compound which is essential in cooking and contains chlorine.
Ans.  Table salt (NaCl) is essential in cooking and contain chlorine.
