Question

If the reaction produced 67.17 moles of GeF₃H, what amount of GeF₄ (in moles) reacted?

a) 33.585
b) 67.17
c) 100.755
d) 134.34

Answer 1

Using an assumed 1:1 molar ratio, if 67.17 moles of GeF₃H were produced, then 67.17 moles of GeF₄ would have reacted as well.

The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a stoichiometry problem where we need to determine the amount of reactant GeF₄ required to produce 67.17 moles of product GeF₃H. To solve this, we must know the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

Assuming a theoretical 1:1 molar ratio between GeF₄ (reactant) and GeF₃H (product) which is common but not stated in the question (you would need the actual balanced equation to be certain, but this is a frequent assumption in such problems), the amount of GeF₄ that reacted would be the same as the amount of GeF₃H produced.

Therefore, if 67.17 moles of GeF₃H were produced, then 67.17 moles of GeF₄ would have reacted as well. The correct answer is therefore b) 67.17 moles of GeF₄.

The correct option is b.
