An important industrial use of chloroform [CHCI3(e)] is a reaction with HF(g) to produce CHCIF(g): i. CHCla(t) + 2 HF(g) – CHCIF2(g) + 2 HCl(g) The product CHCIF2 is then heated to a high temperature in the absence of oxygen to produce C2F4, which is used to make the polymer known as Teflon". ii. 2 CHCIF(g) – CF4@) + 2 HCl(g) a. In a reaction mixture of 775 g CHCI3 and 775 g HCI, which is the limiting reactant? b. Assume the yield in reaction (i) is stoichiometric and in reaction (ii) is 95%. How many grams of C2F4 could be prepared in reaction (ii) from the product formed in reaction (i)? c. How much of which reactant is left over in the reaction mixture in part (i)?
