Gains. when theres a neutral atom it has an equal number protons and electrons(they all cancel which is what makes it neutral) so when it gains an electron there’s 1 more negative that doesn’t cancel so it changes the charge to negative.

Answer:

Gains

Explanation:

If it gains an electron it causes the atom to become negative since electrons are negative and an overall charge of an atom is neutral. Therefore, it would become negative.

Hope this helps :)

Hydrogen fluoride is used in the manufacture of Freons (which destroy ozone in the stratosphere) and in the production of alumin

Lerok [7]

Answer: The percentage yield of HF is 73.36 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For calcium fluoride:

Given mass of calcium fluoride = 6.25 kg = 6250 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of calcium fluoride = 78.07 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium fluoride}=\frac{6250g}{78.07g/mol}=80.05mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$CaF_2+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CaSO_4+2HF$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium fluoride produces 2 moles of hydrofluoric acid

So, 80.05 moles of calcium fluoride will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 80.05=160.1mol$ of hydrofluoric acid

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of hydrofluoric acid using equation 1, we get:

Moles of of hydrofluoric acid = 160.1 moles

Molar mass of hydrofluoric acid = 20.01 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$160.1mol=\frac{\text{Theoretical yield of hydrofluoric acid}}{20.01g/mol}=3203.6g=3.20kg$

To calculate the percentage yield of hydrofluoric acid, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of hydrofluoric acid = 2.35 kg

Theoretical yield of hydrofluoric acid = 3.20 kg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of hydrofluoric acid}=\frac{2.35g}{3.20g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of hydrofluoric acid}=73.36\%$

Hence, the percentage yield of HF is 73.36 %
