Answer:
The answer to your question is 80.3%
Explanation:
Data
Percent by mass of F
molecules NF₃
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of nitrogen trifluoride
molar mass = (1 x 14) + (19 x 3)
= 14 + 57
= 71 g
2.- Use proportions and cross multiplications to find the percent by mass of F. The molar mass of NF₃ is equal to 100%.
71 g of NF₃ ------------------ 100%
57 g of F ------------------- x
x = (57 x 100)/71
x = 5700 / 71
x = 80.3%
3.- Conclusion
Fluorine is 80.3% by mass of the molecule NF₃
To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.
Explanation:
- Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.
- Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.
- H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.
