For the balanced equation shown below, how many moles of F2 be produced by 0.8622 moles of C2H3F3?
4C2H3F3+7O2 --> 8CO+6H2O+6F2
Use the coefficients in the balanced equation. You get 6 moles F2 for every 4 moles C2H3F3.
To find out how many moles of F2 will be produced by 0.8622 moles of C2H3F3, we need to use the coefficients from the balanced equation.
In the balanced equation, we see that the coefficient of C2H3F3 is 4. This means that for every 4 moles of C2H3F3, we will produce a certain number of moles of F2.
To determine the number of moles of F2 produced by 0.8622 moles of C2H3F3, we can set up a proportion:
(4 moles C2H3F3) / (x moles F2) = (0.8622 moles C2H3F3) / (1 mole F2)
Cross-multiplying gives us:
4 moles C2H3F3 * 1 mole F2 = 0.8622 moles C2H3F3 * x moles F2
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
x moles F2 = (0.8622 moles C2H3F3 * 1 mole F2) / (4 moles C2H3F3)
Calculating the right side of the equation gives us:
x = (0.8622 * 1) / 4 = 0.21555 moles F2
Therefore, 0.8622 moles of C2H3F3 will produce 0.21555 moles of F2.
