Because it can be balanced in an infinite number of ways so it would need to be rewritten in a simpler form.

A chemist prepares hydrogen fluoride by means of the following reaction:
natita [175]

Answer:

39.3%

Explanation:

CaF2 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + 2HF

We must first determine the limiting reactant, the limiting reactant is the reactant that yields the least number of moles of products. The question explicitly says that H2SO4 is in excess so CaF2 is the limiting reactant hence:

For CaF2;

Number of moles reacted= mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaF2= 78.07 g/mol

Number of moles reacted= 11g/78.07 g/mol = 0.14 moles of Calcium flouride

Since 1 mole of calcium fluoride yields two moles of 2 moles hydrogen fluoride

0.14 moles of calcium fluoride will yield 0.14×2= 0.28 moles of hydrogen fluoride

Mass of hydrogen fluoride formed (theoretical yield) = number of moles× molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen fluoride= 20.01 g/mol

Mass of HF= 0.28 moles × 20.01 g/mol= 5.6 g ( theoretical yield of HF)

Actual yield of HF was given in the question as 2.2g

% yield of HF= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

%yield of HF= 2.2/5.6 ×100

% yield of HF= 39.3%

If water and hydrogen peroxide both consist of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, explain why they have different chemical and physical
lana [24]
Water and hydrogen peroxide are different compounds although they have the same kind of atoms. The molecular formula of water is H2O (two atoms of oxygen chemically bonded to one atom of oxygen). The molecular formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, (each atom of oxygen is chemical bonded to one atom of H and other atom of O). So,<span> the presence of different chemical bonds leads to different products with different chemical properties.</span><span />
