Answer:

a) <em>Theoretical Yield of HF = 5.64 grams</em>

b) <em>Percentage Yield = 39%</em>

Explanation:

Reaction Given:

CaF2 + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 + 2HF

CaF2 = 11g

H2SO4 = Used in excess

HF = 2.2 g production = Actual Yield

So, Let's write down the molar masses:

Molar Mass of CaF2 = 78 g /mol

Molar Mass of HF = 20 g/mol

From the reaction, we can see the 1 mole of CaF2 gives the 2 moles of HF

i.e

a) Theoretical Yield of HF:

1 mole CaF2 = 2 moles HF

78 g CaF2 = 2 x 20 g of HF

78 g CaF2 = 40 g of HF

1 g CaF2 = 40g/78g of HF

And in the question it is given that chemist used 11 g of CaF2 so,

1 x 11 g of CaF2 = 11 x 40/78 g of HF

11 g of CaF2 = 440/78 g of HF

11 g of CaF2 = 5.64 g of HF

And this is the theoretical yield

<em>Theoretical Yield of HF = 5.64 grams</em>

b) Now, calculate the Percentage Yield of HF

<em>Percentage Yield = Actual Yield /Theoretical Yield x 100</em>

Percentage Yield = 2.2 g /5.64 g x 100

Percentage Yield = 39%

klio [65]
Since the forward reaction is endothermic (heat is consumed in the reaction) that means that the enthalpy change for the forward reaction is a positive value.
Therefore, i would say that the reverse or backward reaction is exothermic (heat is released in the reaction to the sorroundings) and that the enthalpy change is a negative value.
