Yohannes DA Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) Help In my chemistry text it says that '2Cl represents 2 atoms of Chlorine' But 1mol of Cl has 6.02x10^23 atoms How could 2Cl only represent only 2 atoms? Tnx Edited August 7, 2010 by Yohannes DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza2002 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 ok, so 2Cl means that you have two atoms of chlorine. If u like, the units of the 2 are atoms. The number two here is NOT saying you have 2moles of Cl; is it saying you have two atoms of chlorine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohannes DA Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Could you clarify it a bit? And yes it says that it has only 2 atoms of chlorine or take 2Fe because chlorine's nature is in molecular form-- Cl2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzwood Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Same answer. You don't ask for 2mol Fe but for 2Fe which means 2 atoms of iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
