How many kilograms of hf are needed to react with 3.76kg of uo2

1.115 Kg of HF needed to react with UO₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of UO₂ = 3.76 Kg   (3.76× 1000 = 3760 g)

Mass of HF = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation.

UO₂(g) + 4HF(g) → UF₄ (g) + 2H₂O(l)

Now we will calculate the number of moles of UO₂.

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of UO₂ = 270.03 g/mol

Number of moles = 3760 g / 270.03 g/mol = 13.9244 mol

Now we will compare the moles of HF and UO₂ from balance chemical equation.

                   UO₂    :    HF

                    1         :     4

              13.9244    :    4×13.9244 = 55.7 mol

Mass of HF = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of HF = 55.7 mol × 20.01 g/mol

Mass of HF = 1114.56 g

In kilogram:

1114.56 / 1000 = 1.115 Kg

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
