Freon-12, CCl2F2, is prepared from CCl4 by reaction with HF. The other product of this reaction is HCl. Outline the steps needed to determine the percent yield of a reaction that produces 12.5 g of CCl2F2 from 32.9 g of Cd4. Freon-12 has been banned and is no longer used as a refrigerant because it catalyzes the decomposition of ozone and has a very long lifetime in the atmosphere. Determine the percent yield.

(b) What is the mole ratio of Br2 to Fe in the reaction? (c) What is the empirical formula of the product? (d) Write the balanced chemical equation tor the reaction of iron and bromine. (e) What is the name of the reaction product? (f) Which statement or statements best describe the experiments summarized by the graph? (i) When 1.00 g of Fe is added to the Br2, Fe is the limiting reagent. (ii) When 3.50 g of Fe is added to the Br2, there is an excess of Br2. (iii) When 2.50 g of Fe is added to the Br2, both reactanu are used up compietely. (iv) When 2.00 g of Fe is added to the Br2, 10.8 g of product is formed. The percent yield must therefore be 20.0%.
