Using the balanced equation below, how many grams of cesium xenon
heptafluoride would be produced
from the complete reaction of 37.8 g
cesium fluoride?

CsF + XeF6 => CsXeF7

Mass of CsXeF₇  = 99.3 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CsF = 37.8 g

Mass of CsXeF₇ produced = ?

Solution:

Balance chemical equation:

CsF + XeF₆   →    CsXeF₇

Number of moles of CsF:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 37.8 g/ 152 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.25 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CsF with CsXeF₇  from balance chemical equation:      

                   CsF             :         CsXeF₇

                    1                 :             1

                 0.25             :           0.25

Mass of CsXeF₇ :

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Number of moles = 0.25 mol × 397.2 g/mol

Mass = 99.3 g

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

e

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons
