no precipitate forms

Answer 1

The balanced reaction is
CaCO3 + 2 NaF -> CaF2 + Na2CO3
You forgot the reaction arrow.
The sum of the coefficients is 5.

We will be glad to critique your work on the remainder of the problem. I assume you can compute molar mass of a compound and convert mass to moles.

Answer 2

number 2 is .2 because I found molar mass. Number 3 4 and 5 is where I get lost.

Answer 3

I posted under my friends name accidentally.. but number 2 is .2 because I found molar mass. Number 3 4 and 5 is where I get lost

Answer 4

0.2 is correct for #2.

Here is how you work #3 and all problem similar to it. First, the copy.

CaCO3 + 2NaF ==> CaF2 + Na2CO3
If you start with .500 moles of NaF, how many moles of CaF2 will form
.500
1.00
1.50
2.00
0.250

<b>ASSUMING you have an unlimited supply of CaCO3 (not the 20.0 g in problem 2), convert 0.500 mols NaF to mols CaF2 by using the coefficients in the balanced equation.
0.500 mols NaF x (1 mol CaF2/2 mol NaF) = (notice how the units of NaF cancel and mols CaF2 are left--this is the way we convert mols of one thing to mols of another) = 0.500 NaF x 1/2 = 0.250 CaF2.

On the others, if you get stuck, repost as a new post (at the top of the board) and tell us exactly what your trouble is in detail. That way we can help you better.
