In a certain experiment using Ca and an excess of F, 10.6 g of CaF2 is obtained. This represents a 76.4 percent yield. What is the theoretical yield of CaF2 for this experiment?

10.53 grams is the theoretical yield of CaF2 for this experiment.

Explanation:

From the reaction it can be found that Ca reacts with excess of fluoride gas to form calcium fluoride. Thus, it can be concluded that calcium is limiting reagent as product formation depends on the concentration of calcium in the reaction as reactant.

The balanced chemical reaction is :

Ca + F2 ⇒ CaF2

Thus one mole of calcium reacted to form one mole of calcium fluoride.

Number of moles of calcium fluoride can be obtained by using the formula;

number of moles=

                           =

                            = 0.135 moles of CaF2 is formed.

So,

1 mole of calcium reacts to give 1 mole of CaF2

x moles of calcium will give 0.135 moles of CaF2

Hence, 0.135 moles of CaF2 is formed

the weight formed will be given as 0.135 x 78.07

                                                        = 10.53 grams

The theoretical yield is the amount of product formed by complete conversion of limiting reactant. Thus, 10.53 grams is the theoretical yield of CaF2 in the reaction.
