Answer:
1.263 moles of HF
Explanation:
The balance chemical equation for given single replacement reaction is;
Sn + 2 HF → SnF₂ + H₂
Step 1: <u>Calculate Moles of Tin as;</u>
As we know,
Moles = Mass / A.Mass ----- (1)
Where;
Mass of Tin = 75.0 g
A.Mass of Tin = 118.71 g/mol
Putting values in eq. 1;
Moles = 75.0 g / 118.71 g/mol
Moles = 0.6318 moles of Sn
Step 2: <u>Find out moles of Hydrogen Fluoride as;</u>
According to balance chemical equation,
1 mole of Sn reacted with = 2 moles of HF
So,
0.6318 moles of Sn will react with = X moles of HF
Solving for X,
X = 0.6318 mol × 2 mol / 1 mol
X = 1.263 moles of HF
