Chapter 3, Problem 53QAP

Cyanogen gas, C₂N₂, has been found in the gases of outer space. It can react with fluorine to form carbon tetrafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride.

${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{7F}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to {\text{2CF}}_{\text{4}}\left(g\right)+{\text{2NF}}_{\text{3}}\left(g\right)$(a) How many moles of fluorine react with 1.37 mol of cyanogen?

(b) How many moles of CF₄ are obtained from 13.75 mol of fluorine?

(c) How many moles of cyanogen are required to produce 0.8974 mol of NF₃?

(d) How many moles of fluorine will yield 4.981 mol of nitrogen trifluoride?
