    Answer is: 99.25 grams of fluorine gas is needed.

    Balanced chemical reaction: P₄ (s) + 6F₂ (g) → 4PF₃ (g).

    m (PF₃) = 120.0 g; mass of phosphorus trifluoride.

    n (PF₃) = m (PF₃) : M (PF₃).

    n (PF₃) = 120 g : 88 g/mol.

    n (PF₃) = 1.36 mol.

    From chemical reaction: n (PF₃) : n (F₂) = 4 : 6 (2 : 3).

    n (F₂) = 1.36 mol · 3 / 2.

    n (F₂) = 2.04 mol; amount of substance.

    m (F₂) = n (F₂) · M (F₂).

    m (F₂) = 2.04 mol · 38 g/mol.

    m (F₂) = 77.52 g : 0.781.

    m (F₂) = 99.25 g.
