The manufacture of nitrogen trifluoride is a growing industry, due to its use as a plasma etchant in the semiconductor industry. Nitrogen trifluoride can be synthesized by passing a currentthrough a high-temperature mixture of ammonium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, withhydrogen gas as a byproduct. In one synthesis, 1.20x103g ammonium fluoride is reacted with 1.20x103g hydrogen fluoride to produce 5.00x102g nitrogen trifluoride. What is the limitingeactant, excess reactant, theoretical yield of nitrogen trifluoride, percent yield, and mass ofxcess reactant remaining after the reaction?

The manufacture of nitrogen trifluoride is a growing industry, due to its use as a plasma etchant in the semiconductor industry. Nitrogen trifluoride can be synthesized by passing a currentthrough a high-temperature mixture of ammonium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, withhydrogen gas as a byproduct. In one synthesis, 1.20x103g ammonium fluoride is reacted with
1.20x103g hydrogen fluoride to produce 5.00x102g nitrogen trifluoride. What is the limitingeactant, excess reactant, theoretical yield of nitrogen trifluoride, percent yield, and mass ofxcess reactant remaining after the reaction?
