<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of water: 119 grams
We know that one mole of a gas occupies 22.4L of volume
<u>Number of moles of water:</u>
Number of moles = given mass / Molar mass
Number of moles = 119 / 18 [molar mass of water = 18 grams/mol]
Number of moles = 6.61 moles
<u>Volume occupied:</u>
Volume = number of moles * 22.4 L
Volume = 6.61 * 22.4
Volume = 148L
Volume (in mL) = 1.48 * 10⁻¹ mL
The balanced chemical equation is written as:
<span>CsF(s) + XeF6(s) ------> CsXeF7(s)
We are given the amount of </span>cesium fluoride and <span>xenon hexafluoride used for the reaction. We need to determine first the limiting reactant to proceed with the calculation. From the equation and the amounts, we can say that the limiting reactant would be cesium fluoride. We calculate as follows:
11.0 mol CsF ( 1 mol </span>CsXeF7 / 1 mol CsF ) = 11.0 mol <span>CsXeF7</span>
Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:
1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.
2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.
3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.
If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.
