Question
Elemental sulfur occurs as octatomic molecules, S8. What mass of fluorine gas is needed to react completely with 19.0g of sulfur to form sulfur hexafluoride?
Answers
fuzzyyyyy
first you need a balanced equation, so:
24F2+S8 --> 8SF6
then find the no. of moles of s8 (which is 19g divided by molar mass of s8)
then use the reaction ratio of 24:1 to multiply your answer to get number of moles of fluorine
then convert from moles to mass using m=n*M
24F2+S8 --> 8SF6
then find the no. of moles of s8 (which is 19g divided by molar mass of s8)
then use the reaction ratio of 24:1 to multiply your answer to get number of moles of fluorine
then convert from moles to mass using m=n*M

19.0/256.56 multiply by 24 mol F2 multiply by 38g F2 after calculation will give you the mass in grams of F2.
