Hydrogen fluoride is used in the manufacture of Freons (which destroy ozone in the stratosphere) and in the production of aluminum metal. It is prepared by the reaction CaF2 + H2SO4→CASO4 + 2HF In one process, 5.75 kg of CaF2 is treated with an excess of H,SO4 and yields 2.85 kg of HF. Calculate the percent yield of HF. % yield
