What mass (in grams)of SF₆ should be produced by the following reaction if 7.00 g of sulfur is mixed with 9.00 g of fluorine? S + 3F₂ → SF₆

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is limited by the amount of fluorine. The molar mass of F2 is 38 g/mol, so 9.00 g of F2 is 0.237 mol. The reaction requires 3 mol of F2 per mol of SF6, so the maximum amount of SF6 that can be produced is 0.079 mol. The molar mass of SF6 is 146 g/mol, so the mass of SF6 produced is 0.079 mol × 146 g/mol = 11.1 g.
