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.

You are making cookies and are missing a key ingredient—eggs. You have plenty of the other ingredients, except that you have only 1.33 cups of butter and no eggs. You note that the recipe calls for 2 cups of butter and 3 eggs (plus the other ingredients) to make 6 dozen cookies. You telephone a friend and have him bring you some eggs. How many eggs do you need? If you use all the butter (and get enough eggs), how many cookies can you make? fortunately, your mend hangs up before you tell him how mans eggs you need, then he arrives, he has a surprise for you—to save time he has broken the eggs in a bowl for you. You ask him how many he brought, and he replies, All of them, but I spilled some on the way over. You weigh the eggs and find that they weigh 62.1 g. Assuming that an average egg weighs 34.21 g: How much hunger is needed to react with all the eggs? How many cookies can you make? Which will you have left over, eggs or butter? How much is kit over? Relate this question to the concepts of chemical stoichiometry.
