4. What is the percent yield of a reaction that produces 12.5 g CF2Cl2 from 32.9 g of CCl4 and excess HF

Percent yield = 48.3%

Explanation:

The reaction is:

CCl₄  +  2HF → CF₂Cl₂ + 2HCl

1 mol of CCl₄ reacts with 2 moles of hydrofluoric acid in order to produce 1 mol of CF₂Cl₂ and 2 moles of hydrogen chloride.

HF is in excess, so the limiting reagent is the CCl₄.

We convert mass to moles:

32.9 g . 1mol / 153.8g = 0.214 moles

Ratio is 1:1. In conclussion: 0.0813 moles of CCl₄ can produce 0.0813 moles of CF₂Cl₂. We convert moles to mass, to determine the theoretical yield:

0.214 mol . 120.91g /mol = 25.8 g

Percent yield = (Yield produced /Theoretical yield) . 100

Percent yield = (12.5 g/ 25.8g) . 100 = 48.3%

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

the answer is c i believe
