What mass of f2 is needed to produce 180 g of pf3 if the reaction has a 78.1% yield?

91.26 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of PF₃ = 180 g

Mass of F₂ required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄ + 6F₂   → 4PF₃

Moles of PF₃:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 180 g/ 88 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.05 mol

Now we will compare the moles of PF₃ with F₂.

                        PF₃            :           F₂

                          4               :           6

                          2.05         :           6/4×2.05 = 3.075

Mass of  F₂:

Mass of F₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of F₂ = 3.075 mol × 38 g/mol

Mass of F₂ =  116.85 g

If reaction yield is 78.1%:

116.85 /100 ×78.1 = 91.26 g

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
