One of the first steps in the enrichment of uranium for use


One of the first steps in the enrichment of uranium for use in nuclear power plans involves a displacement reaction between UO2 and aqueous HF to produce the green salt, UF4, and water.

a. Write the balance reaction.

b. In a reaction of 3.25 kg of UO2 and 7.30 L of 6.50 M aqueous HF, how much UF4 is produced?

c. If the reaction in part b resulted in 3481 g of UF4, what is the percent yield of that reaction?
