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

Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?
guapka [62]

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)

(1 pt) You have 250.0 mL of 0.136 M HCl. Using a volumetric pipet, you take 25.00 mL of that solution, place it in a 100.00 ml v
alexdok [17]

Answer:

0.034M HCl is the concentration of the diluted solution

Explanation:

You take, initially, 25.00mL of the 0.136M HCl. Then, you dilute the solution to 100.00mL. The solution is diluted:

100.00mL / 25.00mL = 4. The solution was diluted 4 times.

That means the concentration of the diluted solution is:

0.136M / 4 =

<h3>0.034M HCl is the concentration of the diluted solution</h3>

Which element has this electron configuration? <br> astatine<br> bromine<br> chlorine<br> fluorine
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Unfortunately you did not specify the electronic configuration in the question, however since one of the answers must be a halogen, i took the liberty to attach an image with the configuration (both the simple numeric and spdf form) for all the halogen and all you have to do is match the electronic configuration you have in your question to the one in the table attached and you can then deduce the answer.

Hope this helps.

The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of dicyclohexyl maleate is 4 to 6 to 1. what is its mo
Semenov [28]
Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula: 

<span>C4H6O </span>

<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>

<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>

<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>

<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>

<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
