Answer:
A. fluorine, 1.79 moles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of carbon = 87.7g
Mass of fluorine gas = 136g
Unknown:
The limiting reactant and the maximum amount of moles of carbon tetrafluoride that can be produced = ?
Solution:
Equation of the reaction:
C + 2F₂ → CF₄
let us find the number of the moles the given species;
Number of moles =
C; molar mass = 12;
Number of moles = = 7.31moles
F; molar mass = 2(19) = 38g/mol
Number of moles = = 3.58moles
So;
From the give reaction:
1 mole of C requires 2 moles of F₂
7.31 moles of C will then require 2 x 7.31 moles of F₂ = 14.62moles
But we have 3.58 moles of the F₂;
Therefore, the reactant in short supply is F₂ and it is the limiting reactant;
So;
2 moles of F₂ will produce mole of CF₄
3.58 moles of F₂ will then produce = 1.79moles of CF₄
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
A chemist measures the amount of bromine liquid produced during an experiment. She finds that 766.g of bromine liquid is produced. Calculate the number of moles of bromine liquid produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
<u>Answer:</u> The amount of liquid bromine produced is 4.79 moles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
We are given:
Given mass of liquid bromine = 766. g
Molar mass of liquid bromine, = 159.8 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the amount of liquid bromine produced is 4.79 moles.
