Answer:
Theoretical yield is 10.0g of HF.
Explanation:
Theoretical yield is defined as the yield of a reaction assuming a 100%.
In the reaction:
SiF₄(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 4HF(aq) + SiO₂(s)
2 moles of water produce 4 moles of HF.
4.51g of H₂O are:
4.51g ₓ (1mol/18.02g) = 0.250moles of water. Moles of HF:
0.250moles H₂O ₓ (4mol HF/2mol H₂O) = 0.500mol HF
In grams:
0.500mol HF ₓ (20.01g / 1mol) = 10.0g of HF - theoretical yield-
I hope it helps!
