7) How many grams of SF4 (g) can theoretically be prepared from 6.00 g of
SCl2 (g) and 3.50 g of NaF(s)? The equation of the reaction is:
3 SCl2 (g) + 4 NaF (s) → SF4 (g) + S2Cl2 (l) + 4 NaCl (s)
A. 21.0 g SF4
B. 210 g SF4
C. 2.10 g SF4
D. 0.210 g SF4
We have to determine the limiting reagent:
First start with SCl2 second start with NaF
1- Convert g to mole: 1-Convert g to mole:
n = Mass / molar mass n = Mass / molar mass
molar mass of SCl2 molar mass of NaF
= (1 × 32) + (2 × 35.5) = 103 g mol = (1 × 23) + (1 × 19) = 42 g mol-1
-1

n = 6 / 103 = 0.058 mol n = 3.5 / 42 = 0.083mol

2- from the chemical equation 2- from the chemical equation
3 mole SCl2 ==➔ 1 mole SF4 4mole NaF ==➔ 1 mole SF4
0.058 mole SCl2 ==➔ ? mole SF4 0.083 mole NaF ==➔ ? Mole SF4
1 × 0.058 = 3 × ? 1 × 0.083 = 4 x ?
Mole of SF4 = (0.058 × 1) / 3 Mole of SF4 = (0.083 ×1) / 4
= 0.019 mole = 0.02 mole
The limiting reagent is SCl2 because it produced the least amount of SF4
molar mass of SF4 = (1 × 32) + (4 × 19) = 108 g mol-1
Mass (SF4) = n x molar mass = 0.019 x 108 =2.052 g ≈ 2.1g
