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%

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

12.29 M

Explanation:

  • The reaction that takes place is:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2Na⁺ + SO₄⁻² + 2H₂O

  • Now let's calculate the <u>moles of H₂SO₄ that were titrated</u>:

0.1284 M * 0.1915L*\frac{1molAcid}{2molNaOH} = 0.01229 mol H₂SO₄.

  • Thus, the <u>concentration of the diluted solution is</u>:

0.01229 mol H₂SO₄ / 0.010 L = 1.229 M

  • Finally, the <u>concentration of the original acid solution is:</u>

1.229 M*\frac{250mL}{25mL} = 12.29 M
