The chemical equation below shows the reaction between tin (Sn) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Sn + 2HF mc017-1.jpg SnF2 + H2 The molar mass of HF is 20.01 g/mol. How many moles of Sn are required to react with 40 g of HF?

Respuesta :

Tin and Hydrofluoric Acid reacts as shown,

                              Sn  +  2 HF    →    SnF₂  +  H

According to Equation,

40.02 g (2 Moles) HF Required  =  1 Mole of Sn for complete Reaction

So,
              40 g of HF will require  =  X Moles of Sn

Solving for X,
                                       X  =  (40 g 
× 1 Mole) ÷ 40.02 g

                                       X  =  0.999 Moles  ≈  1 Mole
Result:
            40 g 
of HF requires 1 Mole of Tin (Sn) for complete Reaction to produce SnF₂ and H₂.
