When 15.6 g of fluorite (caf2) reacts with excess sulfuric acid, hydrogen fluoride gas is collected at 709 torr and 25.5°c. solid calcium sulfate is the other product. what gas temperature is required to store the gas in an 7.40âl container at 899 torr?

The reaction equation is:

CaF₂ + H₂SO₄ → 2HF + CaSO₄

The molar ratio between fluorite and hydrogen fluoride is 1 : 1.

The moles of fluorite supplied are:

Moles = 15.6 / 78.07

Moles = 0.200

The moles of hydrogen fluoride produced will be 0.2.

Now, we may use the ideal gas equation to determine the temperature:

PV = nRT

T = PV/nR

T = (899 * 7.4) / (0.2 * 62.36)

T = 533.40 K

The temperature will be 260.25 °C
