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

Choose all that apply. Solids, liquids, and gases can be distinguished by their:molecular weight shape temperature kinetic energ
vesna_86 [32]
So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density

Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.

- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.

- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.

- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.

- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.

- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.

Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)

icang [17]
It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".
