Problem

Chlorine gas reacts with fluorine gas to form chlorine trifluoride. 

Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g) → 2CIF₃ (g) 

A 2.05 L reaction vessel, initially at 298 K, contain chlorine gas at a partial pressure of 337 mmHg and fluorine gas at a partial pressure of 811 mmHg.

Identify the limiting reactant and determine the theoretical yield of CIF₃ in grams. 

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
