How many moles of hydrogen fluoride are required to react completely with 75.0 g of tin?
Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.
Known
given: 75.0 g Sn
molar mass of Sn = 118.69 g/mol
1 mol Sn = 2 mol HF (mole ratio)
Unknown
mol HF
Use the molar mass of Sn to convert the grams of Sn to moles. Then use the mole ratio to convert from mol Sn to mol HF. This will be done in a single two-step calculation.
g Sn → mol Sn → mol HF
Step 2: Solve.

Step 3: Think about your result.
The mass of tin is less than one mole, but the 1:2 ratio means that more than one mole of HF is required for the reaction. The answer has three significant figures because the given mass has three significant figures.
Explanation:
For the first part,
Reaction equation:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
Given:
Number of moles of NH₃ = 6 moles
Unknown:
Number of moles of N₂ = ?
Solution:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃;
From the reaction above, we solve from the known specie to the unknown. Ensure that the equation is balanced;
2 moles of NH₃ is produced from 1 mole of N₂
6 moles of NH₃ will be produced from mole of N₂
= 3moles of N₂
The number of moles of N₂ is 3 moles
ii.
Given parameters:
Number of moles of sulfur = 2.4moles
Molar mass of sulfur = 32.07g/mol
Unknown:
Mass of sulfur = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance can be found using the expression below;
Number of moles =
Mass of sulfur = number of moles of sulfur x molar mass
Insert the parameters and solve;
Mass of sulfur = 2.4 x 32.07 = 76.97g
The correct answer is potential because kinetic energy means it’s moving. however it is stored and has the potential to be used
You just need to say how the pressure affects the glass
