Freon−12 (cf2cl2), widely used as a refrigerant and aerosol propellant, is a dangerous air pollutant. in the troposphere, it traps heat 25 times as effectively as co2, and in the stratosphere, it participates in the breakdown of ozone. freon−12 is prepared industrially by reaction of gaseous carbon tetrachloride with hydrogen fluoride. hydrogen chloride gas also forms. how many grams of carbon tetrachloride are required for the production of 28.5 dm3 of freon−12 at 21°c and 1.62 atm?

The mass of carbon tetrachloride required is 293.8 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

where,

P = pressure of Freon-12 = 1.62 atm

V = Volume of Freon-12 =     (Conversion factor:   )

T = Temperature of Freon-12 =

R = Gas constant =

n = number of moles Freon-12 = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The chemical equation for the formation of Freon-12 follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of Freon-12 is formed by 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

So, 1.91 moles of Freon-12 will be formed by = of carbon tetrachloride

To calculate the mass of carbon tetrachloride, we use the equation:

Molar mass of carbon tetrachloride = 153.82 g/mol

Moles of carbon tetrachloride = 1.91 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the mass of carbon tetrachloride required is 293.8 grams.
