Chlorine gas reacts with fluorine gas to form chlorine trifluoride. Cl2(g)+3F2(g)→2ClF3(g) A 1.60 L reaction vessel, initially at 298 K, contains chlorine gas at a partial pressure of 337 mmHg and fluorine gas at a partial pressure of 877 mmHg . Part A Identify the limiting reactant and determine the theoretical yield of ClF3 in grams.

Limiting reagent: fluorine.

Theoretical yield of ClF₃: 4.62 g.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one could identify the limiting reagent by comparing the available chlorine with the consumed chlorine by the fluorine considering the ideal gas equation and the 1 to 3 respectively stoichiometric relationship between them as shown below:

In such a way, there are 0.004 excess moles of chlorine, which means that fluorine is the limiting reagent. Therefore, the theoretical yield of ClF₃ turns out:

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.

a. by the combination of an unlimited number of elements

the answer is 1260

you spend 7 hours in school for 1 school day with 5 school days in 1 school week with 36 school weeks in a school year.

7*5*36= 1260 it's all about multiplying
