Limestone is mainly made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. But if u wanna know how it is formed? It's formed by erosion and weathering which is a type of 'Sedimentary Rock'. Erosion and weathering, carried rocks and end up at the sea or ocean. Which is the end way to go! At there, rocks combined by adding more and more just under the sea. The combination of rocks made it harden. First, it was just small little eroded particles end up at the sea. But at last, it became a very hard rock which isn't easy to break!

How many moles of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) can be produced from 9.65 mole of Fluorine gas (F2)
user100 [1]

Answer:

6.43 moles of NF₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N₂ + 3F₂ —> 2NF₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) produced by the reaction of 9.65 moles of Fluorine gas (F₂). This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Therefore, 9.65 moles of F₂ will react to to produce = (9.65 × 2)/3 = 6.43 moles of NF₃.

Thus, 6.43 moles of NF₃ were obtained from the reaction.
