Question

Use the balanced equation to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.20 moles NF₃

Explanation:

To convert between moles of N₂ and NF₃, you need to use the mole-to-mole ratio from the balanced equation. This ratio consists of the coefficients of both molecules from the balanced equation. The molecule you are converting from (N₂) should be in the denominator of the ratio because this allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value (2.10 moles) has 3 sig figs.

1 N₂ + 3 F₂ ---> 2 NF₃

2.10 moles N₂        2 moles NF₃
---------------------  x  ---------------------  =  4.20 moles NF₃
                                  1 mole N₂
