hi Tupu, what school do u go to? I have an exam on that on Tue.
Hope I can help:
use the formula
n=m/M
n=moles (first find for 1 mol)
m=mass
M=molar mass (in this case F:19)
1mol= x g / 19g/mol
you can then rearrange the equation so that it's m=Mn : m=1(19) => m= 19g
in 1.5 mols there are: 1mol=19g
1.5 mol= ? ,1.5 mol= 28.5g
In 1 mol there are 6.02*10²³ atoms so your conversion-factor is 1/ 6.02*10²³
Now, I'm slightly confused because that would mean I'm disregarding my previous steps, but then what I would do is:
1.5mol * 6.02*10²³/mol (now the moles cancel and what you get is that there are 9.03*10²³ atoms in 1.5 moles of flourine gas...)
did this help? was I somewhat correct? By answering that you'd be helping me in my Exam!!!! Thx

Yes you did do that correctly towards the end, but that first bit had nothing to do with the question. What you did in the beginning is what you would do if you were trying to find the mass of 1.5mol of fluorine, not the number of atoms.
