GeF₃H is formed from GeH₄ and GeF₄in the combination reaction: GeH₄ + 3GeF₄ → 4GeF₃H
If the reaction yield is 89.1%,how many moles of GeH₄ are needed to produce 3.50 mol of GeF₃H?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to find the theoretical yield of GeF₃H: 1 mol GeH₄ produces 4 mol GeF₃H (from the balanced chemical equation) Therefore, x mol GeH₄ produces (4x) / 3 mol GeF₃H To find the amount of GeH₄ needed to produce 3.50 mol GeF₃H, we can set up a proportion: (4x/3) = (0.891)(3.50) x = 0.982 mol GeH₄ Therefore, the answer is C) 0.982.
