Converting Moles of Fluorine to Equivalent Mass in Grams

Which of the following steps correctly converts 1.25 moles of fluorine to an equivalent mass of fluorine in grams? (5 points)

Add 1.25 to the atomic mass of fluorine.

Divide the atomic mass of fluorine by 1.25.

Subtract 1.25 from the atomic mass of fluorine.

Multiply the atomic mass of fluorine by 1.25.

Explanation:

Given the amount of fluorine is 1.25 mol.

What is the mass of given fluorine in grams?

Since

Number of moles = (given mass of the substance) / (its molecular mass)

To get the mass of the substance in grams, multiply the given number of moles with the molecular mass of the substance.

Hence, among the given options, the correct answer is the last option that is

Multiply the atomic mass of fluorine by 1.25.

Which of the following steps correctly converts 1.25 moles of fluorine to an equivalent mass of fluorine in grams? Multiply the atomic mass of fluorine by 1.25.
