Question

Transcribed Image Text:Although they were formerly called the inert gases, at least the heavier elements of Group 8 do form relatively stable compounds. For example, xenon
combines directly with elemental fluorine at elevated temperatures in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
Xe(g) + 2F₂(g) → XeF4(s)
What is the theoretical mass of xenon tetrafluoride that should form when 155 g of xenon is reacted with 197 g of F2?
Theoretical mass=
g
What is the percent yield if only 143 g of XeF4 is actually isolated?
Percent yield =
%
