Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] CoCl₂ + F₂ → CoF₂ + Cl₂

[RxN - Balanced] CoCl₂ + F₂ → CoF₂ + Cl₂

[Given] 11.84 moles CoCl₂

[Solve] moles CoF₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 1 mol CoCl₂ → 1 mol CoF₂

Step 3: Stoich

1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       $\displaystyle 11.84 \ mol \ CoCl_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ CoF_2}{1 \ mol \ CoCl_2})$
2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                          $\displaystyle 11.84 \ mol \ CoF_2$
