2. How many moles of fluorine are required to produce 12.0 grams of

KrFo? Given the equation: Kr + 3 F2 → KrF

0.0984mol of F2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

Kr + F2 → KrF2

Let us convert 12g of KrF2 to mole. This is illustrated below

Molar Mass of KrF2 = 84 + (2x19) = 84 + 38 = 122g/mol

Mass of KrF2 = 12g

Number of mole = Mass / Molar Mass

Number of mole of KrF2 = 12/122 = 0.0984mol

From the equation,

1mole of F2 produced 1mole of KrF2.

Therefore 0.0984mol of F2 will produce 0.0984mol of KrF2
