Question

Given the following unbalanced equation:

_____ CoCl2 + _____ F2 à _____ CoF2 + _____ Cl2
If you are given 11.84 mole of CoCl2, how many moles of CoF2 will be produced?

Answer 1

11.84 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

We first balance the chemical equation

`CoCl_(2) + F_(2) ------> CoF_(2) + Cl_(2)`

Both number of elements in the reactant side is equal to elements on the product side thus this equation is already balanced

Using mole ratio to find moles of
`COF_(2)`

1 mole of CoCl2 reacts with 1 mole of F2 to produce 1 mole of CoF2 and ! mole of Cl2

Mole CoCl2 = Mole CoF2 = 11.84 moles
