    Cl is stable as a diatomic molecule where the 2 Cl atoms are held together by a covalent bond

    molar mass of the diatomic molecule is 70.9 g/mol

    therefore 70.9 g of Cl₂ is - 1 mol

    then 140 g of Cl₂ is - 1/70.9 x 140 = 1.97 mol

    there are 1.97 mol of Cl₂ present

    1 mole = 70.9

    X mole = 140

    X=1.9746 moles

    X = 1.98 when rounded to 3 significant figures.
