Hydrofluoric acid solutions cannot be stored in glass

Chapter , Problem 93

(choose chapter or problem)

Hydrofluoric acid solutions cannot be stored in glass containers because HF reacts readily with silica dioxide in glass to produce hexafluorosilicic acid ( H 2 Si F 6 ). Si O 2 (s) + 6HF(aq) H 2 Si F 6 (aq) + 2 H 2 O(l) 40.0 g Si O 2 and 40.0 g HF react to yield 45.8 g H 2 Si F 6 . a. What is the limiting reactant? b. What is the mass of the excess reactant? c. What is the theoretical yield of H 2 Si F 6 ? d. What is the percent yield?
