Answer:
56.89 g of HF
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balance equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
SiF₄ + 2H₂O —> 4HF + SiO₂
Next, we shall determine the mass of H₂O that reacted and the mass of HF produced from the balanced equation.
This is illustrated:
Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol
Mass of H₂O from the balanced equation = 2 × 18 = 36 g
Molar mass of HF = 1 + 19 = 20 g/mol
Mass of HF from the balanced equation = 4 × 20 = 80 g
Summary:
From the balanced equation above,
36 g of H₂O reacted to produce 80 g of HF.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of HF produced from the reaction. This is illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
36 g of H₂O reacted to produce 80 g of HF.
Therefore, 25.6 g of H₂O will react to produce = (25.6 × 80)/36 = 56.89 g of HF.
Thus, 56.89 g of HF were produced from the reaction.
