Answer: XF8
Explanation:
Empirical Formular shows the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.
Xe = 46.3% F = 53.7%
Divide the percentage composition of each element by the atomic mass.
Xe = 46.3/ 131.3 F= 53.7/ 19
= 0.353( approx) = 2.826 (approx)
Divide through with the smallest of the answers gotten in previous step.
Xe = 0.353 / 0.353 F = 2.826/ 0.353
= 1 = 8.0
Empirical formular = XF8
