write the equation for the reaction
that is 6 F2 +P4 =4 PF3
find the theoretical mass that is
let the theoretical yield be represented by y
theoretical yield = 78.1/100 = 120/y
y= 153.6 grams
find the number of moles of PF3
moles = mass/molar mass
= 153.6/87.97 =1.746 moles
by use of mole ratio between F2 :PF3 which is 6:4 the moles of F2 is therefore= 1.746 x 6/4 = 2.62 moles
mass = moles x molar mass
= 1.746 moles x38 g/mol = 99.6 grams
A should be the correct answer because any argument based on science makes a result more logical.
Nuclear reactions are those that involve the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of an atomic nucleus and the formation of two distinct atomic species. Nuclear fusion is indeed the combining of two atomic nuclei in order to form a single atomic species. Therefore the answer to the question is true.
