Answer:
S = 21.92 %
F = 78.08 %
Explanation:
To find the percent composition of each element in SF6, we must find the molar mass of SF6 first.
Molar mass of SF6 = 32 + 19(6)
= 32 + 114
= 146g/mol
mass of Sulphur (S) in SF6 = 32g
mass of Fluorine (F) in SF6 = 114g
Percent composition = mass of element/molar mass of compound × 100
- % composition of S = 32/146 × 100 = 21.92%.
- % composition of F = 114/146 × 100 = 78.08%.
Would it be lack of water and food?
Answer: Anna stated that ionic compounds have high melting point and low boiling point. The error in the statement is that ionic compound have low boiling point, instead ionic compounds have high boiling point, because in an ionic compound, the force of attraction working between two ions is very strong and hence the bonds present are very strong, and a lot of energy is needed to break them
