FAQ

What is the molar mass of F?

M(F) = 18.998 g/mol

Why is the molar mass of fluorine 18.998 and not 38?

18.998 g/mol is the mass of one mole of F atoms. Elemental fluorine is made of F₂ molecules: M(F₂) = 2 × 18.998 = 37.996 g/mol (38 in school problems); in SI units, 0.037996 kg/mol. In a problem about the gas, the molar mass of fluorine is usually M(F₂).

How many grams are in 2 moles of F?

m = n × M = 2 mol × 18.998 g/mol = 37.996 g.
