Question
How much UF6 can be produced from 740.5 g of UO₂? x 104.1 g UF6

The uranium minerals found in nature must be refined and enriched in 235U before the uranium can be used as a fuel in nuclear reactors. One procedure for enriching uranium begins with the reaction of natural UO₂ with HF to form UF4, which is then converted into UF6 by reaction with fluorine: UO₂(g) + 4HF (g) →→→→ UF₂(g) + 2H₂O(1) UF4 (g) + F₂ (g) UF (g) 6
