If you want to make 8.00 moles of AlF₃ how many moles of F₂ will you need, using the following balanced chemical equation? 2 Al + 3 F₂ → 2 AlF₃

You will need 12.0 moles of F₂

Explanation:

Based on the chemical equation, 2 moles of AlF₃ are produced when 3 moles of F₂ are added in an excess of Al.

Using this expression: 2mol AlF₃ = 3mol F₂ we can find the moles of F₂ as follows:

8.00 mol AlF₃ * (3mol F₂ / 2mol AlF₃) =

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

6

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
