1. Silicon dioxide (quartz) is usually quite unreactive but reacts readily with hydrogen fluoride according to the following equation: SiO2 (s) + 4HF (g) ---------> SiF4 (g) + 2H2O a) If 12.0 mol HF is added to 9 mol SiO2, which is the limiting reactant (aka reagent)?

Step 1
For Silicon Dioxide (SiO2): - 9 mol SiO2 x (1 mol product / 1 mol SiO2) = 9 mol product For Hydrogen Fluoride (HF): - 12 mol HF x (1 mol product / 4 mol HF) = 3 mol product ** Show more…

Hydrogen fluoride will react with glass (silicon dioxide, SiO2) according to the equation below. What mass of HF is required to react completely with 16.0 g of glass? [Molar masses: Si, 28.09 g/mol; F, 19.00 g/mol; H, 1.01 g/mol; O, 16.00 g/mol] 4HF (g) + SiO2 (s) → SiF4(g) + 2H2O (g)

Silicon dioxide (quartz) is usually quite unreactive but reacts readily with hydrogen fluoride according to the following equation: SiO2 (s) + 4HF (g) -> SiF4 (g) + 2H2O (l). a. If 6.5 moles of HF are exposed to 4.5 moles of SiO2, which is the limiting reactant and why? b. How many moles of the excess reactant are left over when the reaction is complete? c. How many moles of water will be produced in the reaction?

Silicon carbide, an abrasive, is made by the reaction of silicon dioxide with graphite. heat SiO2 C 888n SiC CO (balanced?) We mix 150.0 g of SiO2 and 101.5 g of C. If the reaction proceeds as far as possible, which reactant is left over? How much of this reactant remains?
