Question

If you start with 10g of Florine, how many grams of sulfur hexafluoride will be made?

S+3F2->SF6

Answer 1

To solve this problem, one must assume that enough sulfur is present to completely react with the fluorene.

 

g SF6 = (10 g F2)(1 mol F2 / 37.9968 g F2)(1 mol SF6 / 3 mol F2)(146.0554 g SF6 / mol SF6) = 13 g
