Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16
Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.
If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8
The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.

Answer:
53.85%
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Mass of antimony (Sb) = 27.6g
Mass of Fluorine (F) = 32.2g
Mass of compound = 59.8g
Percentage composition of fluorine (F) =..?
The percentage composition of fluorine can be obtained as follow:
Percentage composition of fluorine = mass of fluorine/mass of compound x 100
Percentage composition of fluorine = 32.2/59.8 x 100
= 53.85%
Therefore, the percentage composition of fluorine in the compound is 53.85%
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The statement given regarding salt is correct,
Salt is ionic in nature, as it is composed of a positive ion, i.e. , cation and a negative ion, i.e. , anion.
Salt can be made by the combination of respective acid and base.
There are three nature of salt, acid, base and neutral.
Hence, from the given statement of the question,
The correct option is a. True.
