The molecular formula :
C₆H₁₄O₃PF
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
39.10% carbon, 7.67% hydrogen, 26.11% oxygen, 16.82% phosphorus, and 10.30% fluorine.
Required
The molecular formula
Solution
mol ratio :
C = 39.1 : 12 = 3.258
H = 7.67 : 1 = 7.67
O = 26.11 : 16 = 1.632
P = 16.82 : 31 = 0.543
F = 10.3 : 19 = 0.542
Divide by 0.542
C = 6
H : 14
O = 3
P = 1
F = 1
The empirical formula :
C₆H₁₄O₃PF
(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula
(C₆H₁₄O₃PF)=184.1
(6.12+14.1+3.16+31+19)n=184.1
(184)n=184.1
n = 1
Significant figures are numbers that are not 0s, but they are included if they are between two numbers:
There are three significant figures, 304

In chemistry, a precipitation reaction is a double replacement reaction. It involves two reactants and two products. It means that the cations and anions of the compounds interchange with one another to yield two products. But what makes precipitation reactions different is that when two liquid reactants are allowed to react together, a solid substance called precipitate is formed. The solid appears because it is insoluble to the other product in aqueous state.
Therefore, basing on the choices given, precipitation reactions apply to letters C and D.
