Answer:
F2 is the limiting reactant
27.6 grams of NaF is produced.
Explanation:
Balance the equation first.
2Na+ F2 ---> 2NaF
To find the limiting reactant, solve for how much NaF can be produced with Na and F2
12.5g F2 x (1 mole F2/ 38.00 grams F2)x (2 mole NaF/ 1 mole F2)
=0.658 moles NaF
16.2g Na x (1 mole Na/ 22.99 grams Na)x (2 mole NaF/ 2 mole Na)
=0.705 moles NaF
Since F2 produced the least NaF, F2 is the limiting reactant.
Now, to find how much NaF there is, use the moles solved above with F2 as the limiting reactant.
0.658 moles NaF x (41.99 grams NaF/ 1 mole NaF)= 27.6 moles NaF
27.6 moles of NaF would be theoretically produced.
Answer:

Explanation:
Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.
The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

The net equation is then:

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:
Actual anode half-equation:

Actual cathode half-equation:

Actual net reaction:
