Chlorine gas reacts with fluorine gas to form chlorine trifluoride. Cl2(g)+3F2(g)→2ClF3(g) A 2.05 L reaction vessel, initially at 298 K, contains chlorine gas at a partial pressure of 337 mmHg and fluorine gas at a partial pressure of 730 mmHg .

2.4 grams of ClF3

Explanation:

First let us determine the moles of Cl2 and F2,

Cl2 = (  ( 337 )( 2.05 L ) / ( 0.082 )( 298 K ) ) * ( 1 atm / 780 ),

Cl2 = ( 690 / 24.436 ) * ( 1 / 780 ),

Cl2 = ( About ) 0.036 moles of Cl2

F2 = ( ( 729 )( 2 L ) / ( 0.082 )( 298 K ) ) * ( 1 atm / 780 ),

F2 = ( 1458 / 24.436 ) * ( 1 / 780 )

F2 = ( About ) 0.078 moles of F2

Now let us identify the limiting reactant, considering the ratio between ClF3 and Cl2 / F2. In this case F2 is the limiting reactant, as it forms a smaller molar ratio;

The theoretic yield is thus performed with the limiting reactant F2,

0.078 * ( 2 / 3 ) * ( 92.45 / 2 ) = ( About ) 2.4 grams of ClF3

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
