Using the balanced equation below, how many grams of cesium fluoride would be required to make 73.1 g of cesium xenon heptafluoride? CSF + XeF6 → CsXeF7

A mass of 84.46 g of cesium fluoride would be required to make 73.1 g of cesium xenon heptafluoride.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of cesium xenon heptafluoride = 73.1 g

The molar mass of cesium xenon heptafluoride is 131.3 g/mol. So, moles of is calculated as follows.

According to the given equation, 1 mole of CsF yields 1 mole of .

Hence, moles of CsF reacting will also be equal to 0.556 mol. As molar mass of CsF is 151.9 g/mol so its mass is calculated as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that a mass of 84.46 g of cesium fluoride would be required to make 73.1 g of cesium xenon heptafluoride.
