1)
mCaF2=6.25/78=.08

mHF=2.35/20=.1175

therefore mCaSO4=.1175/2=.05875

%yield=.05875/.08*100=73/4 %

2)
mEthanol=60/46=1.3

mEther=13/74=.175

%yield=.175*2/1.3=27 %

Nitroglycerin (C3H5N3O9) is a powerful explosive. Its decomposition may be represented by

4C3H5N3O9 → 6N2 + 12CO2 + 10H2O + O2 This reaction generates a large amount of heat and
gaseous products. It is the sudden formation of these gases, together with their rapid expansion, that
produces the explosion. (a) What is the maximum amount of O2 in grams that can be obtained from
