Titanium tetrachloride $\left(\mathrm{TiCl}_{4}\right)$ reacts with THF to form an octahedral complex X under inert atmosphere at 25°C. If 5.0 g of $\mathrm{TiCl}_{4}$ is used and the yields is $80 \%$, the amount of X (in grams) formed is ____ (Round off to one decimal place) (Use atomic weights: $\mathrm{Ti}=48, \mathrm{Cl}=35.5 \mathrm{Q}=16, \mathrm{C}=12$ and $\mathrm{H}=1$ )
Answer
SELF-PRACTICE — the source book printed no answer.

Nothing is invented here, so this question has no answer on record.

Explanation
Answer: ≈ 7.0 g — TiCl₄ + 2THF → TiCl₄(THF)₂ (M = 190 + 144 = 334). 5.0/190 = 0.0263 mol × 0.80 × 334 = 7.03 g (book key 6.96).
