Chapter 21, Problem 21.23QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equations for formation of Freon -11 and Freon-12 from the reaction between ${\text{CCl}}_{\text{4}}$ and $\text{HF}$ should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Balanced Equation: A chemical reaction is considered as balanced equation if all the number of atoms, the charge and the mass of elements on both reactant and the product side are equal in the reaction.

Moles: It is the number of particles present in the given specific substance. The formula used to identify the moles present in given mass of a compound is as follows,

$\text{x}\text{moles}\text{=}\frac{\text{Given}\text{mass}\text{of}\text{the}\text{sample}}{\text{Molecular}\text{mass}\text{of}\text{the}\text{sample}}$

Molar mass: It is the total mass of the substance including all the number and the mass of the elements present in substance.

To determine: The chemical equation for the given chemical reaction between ${\text{CCl}}_{\text{4}}$ and $\text{HF}$.
