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 = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

  C;   molar mass = 12;

            Number of moles  = \frac{87.7}{12}   = 7.31moles

 F;  molar mass  = 2(19)  = 38g/mol

             Number of moles  = \frac{136}{38}   = 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 \frac{3.58}{2}  = 1.79moles of CF₄

ANEK [815]
The negative ion reactions that consist of the formation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is generally an exothermic reaction. By definition, an exothermic reaction takes place when the chemical process eventually releases heat as its by-product. It is in contrast in endothermic process wherein heat is absorbed.

8.310x10^2 – 7.210x10^1<br><br>[?]x10^[?]​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

7.589\times 10^{2}

Explanation:

The expression can be solved mathematically as follows:

1) 8.310\times 10^{2}-7.210\times 10^{1} Given

2) 8.310\times 10^{1+1} - 7.210\times 10^{1} Definition of sum

3) (8.310\times 10^{1})\times 10^{1}-7.210\times 10^{1} a^{m+n} = a^{m}\cdot a^{n}/Associative property

4) (8.310\times 10^{1}-7.210)\times 10^{1} Distributive property

5) (83.100-7.210)\times 10^{1} Multiplication

6) 75.89\times 10^{1} Subtraction.

7) (7.589\times 10^{1})\times 10^{1} Multiplication/Associative property

8) 7.589\times (10^{1}\times 10^{1}) Associative property

9) 7.589\times 10^{2} a^{m+n} = a^{m}\cdot a^{n}/Result
