Tin reacts with fluorine to form two different compounds, A and B. Compound A contains 38.5 g of tin for each 12.3 g of fluorine

. Compound B contains 56.5 g of tin for each 36.2 g of fluorine. What is the lowest whole-number mass ratio of tin that combines with a given mass of fluorine?

Tin to Fluorine mass ratios:
1) For compound A:
38.5/12.3
= 3.13
2) For compound B:
56.5/36.2
= 1.56
The lowest whole number mass ratio is 2. It cannot be 1 because it is less than that required for compound B.

Answer: In compound A, the mass ratio of Tin to Fluorine is 1 : 2

In compound B, the mass ratio of Tin to Fluorine is 1 : 4

Explanation: For the reaction of Tin and Fluorine, the reaction follows:

Sn+F_2\rightarrow A+B

To calculate the mass ratio, we simply find the mole ratio and for that we need to find the moles of Tin and fluorine respectively for each compound and then divide it by the lowest number of moles.

Molar mass Tin = 118.71g/mol

Molar mass Fluorine = 19g/mol

Formula to calculate the moles is:

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

For Compound A:

  • Given mass of Tin = 38.5 g

Moles of Tin = \frac{38.5g}{118.71g/mol}=0.324mol

  • Given mass of Fluorine = 12.3 g

Moles of Fluorine = \frac{12.3g}{19g/mol}=0.647mol

Mole ratio of Tin is = \frac{0.324}{0.324}=1

Mole ratio of Fluorine = \frac{0.647}{0.324}=1.99\approx 2

Mass ratio of Tin and fluorine is 1 : 2. The compound formed is SnF_2

For Compound B:

  • Given mass of Tin = 56.5 g

Moles of Tin = \frac{56.5g}{118.71g/mol}=0.475mol

  • Given mass of Fluorine = 36.2 g

Moles of Fluorine = \frac{36.2g}{19g/mol}=1.905mol

Mole ratio of Tin is = \frac{0.475}{0.475}=1

Mole ratio of Fluorine = \frac{1.905}{0.475}=4.01\approx 4

Mass ratio of Tin and fluorine is 1 : 24 The compound formed is SnF_4

15. Why do many substances dissolve easily in water?
mash [69]

Answer:

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. ... Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Boil the water and stir in potassium nitrate. If it doesn't all dissolve, you can cook it on the stove or microwave it until the water boils again. Remove the solution from heat, but let it cool slowly for the best crystal formation.
