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%

When dilute HCL is added to zinc pieces taken in a test tube​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

zince chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas will be librated.

Explanation:

When dilute HCl is added to zinc pieces, a rection will takes place as follows :

Zn+HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

It means that zinc chloride will form when zinc reacts with dilute HCL. Also hydrogen gas will produced.

As zinc is more reactive than hydrogen, it displaces hydrogen from its solution and forms zinc chloride. The form product is white in color and H₂ is an odorless gas.

Hence, zince chloride will be formed and hydrogen gas will be librated.
