Question

How many grams of HF are needed to react with 3.0 moles of Sn?

Answer 1

Answer:

120g

Explanation:

Step 1:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

Sn + 2HF —> SnF2 + H2

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole HF needed to react with 3 moles of Sn.

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Sn and reacted with 2 moles of HF.

Therefore, 3 moles Sn will react with = 3 x 2 = 6 moles of HF.

Step 3:

Conversion of 6 moles of HF to grams.

Number of mole HF = 6 moles

Molar Mass of HF = 1 + 19 = 20g/mol

Mass of HF =..?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of HF = 6 x 20

Mass of HF = 120g

Therefore, 120g of HF is needed to react with 3 moles of Sn.
