144 mL of fluorine gas is required to react with 1.28 g of calcium bromide to form calcium fluoride and bromine gas at STP.
The ideal gas law states that the pressure of gas is directly proportional to the volume and temperature of the gas.
PV = nRT
where,
P = Presure
V = Volume in liters
n = number of moles of gas
R = Ideal gas constant
T = temperature in Kelvin
Here,
P = 1 atm [At STP]
R = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K
T = 273 K [At STP]
Now first find the number of moles
F₂ + CaBr₂ → CaF₂ + Br₂
Here 1 mole of F₂ reacts with 1 mole of CaBr₂.
So, 199.89 g CaBr₂ reacts with = 1 mole of F₂
1.28 g of CaBr₂ will react with = n mole of F₂
[tex]n = \frac{1.28\g \times 1\ \text{mole}}{199.89\ g}[/tex]
n = 0.0064 mole
Now put the value in above equation we get
PV = nRT
1 atm × V = 0.0064 × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K
V = 0.1434 L
V ≈ 144 mL
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that 144 mL of fluorine gas is required to react with 1.28 g of calcium bromide to form calcium fluoride and bromine gas at STP.
