    write the equation for the reaction

    that is 6 F2 + P4 = 4 PF3

    find the theoretical mass that is

    let the theoretical yield be represented by y

    theoretical yield = 78.1/100 = 120/y

    y = 153.6 grams

    find the number of moles of PF3

    moles = mass/molar mass

    = 153.6/87.97 = 1.746 moles

    by use of mole ratio between F2 : PF3 which is 6:4 the moles of F2 is therefore = 1.746 x 6/4 = 2.62 moles

    mass = moles x molar mass

    = 1.746 moles x38 g/mol = 99.6 grams
