Answer:
1.096g
Explanation:
You must know the atomic mass of Hydrogen, Fluorine, and Sodium before you can start:
Hydrogen: 1.008g/mol
Fluorine: 18.99g/mol
Sodium: 22.98g/mol
Next, find the composition percentage of NaF
22.98 + 18.99 = 41.97
Fluorine is 18.99/41.97 =45.25%
Sodium is 100-45.25 = 54.75%
Ultimately we want to know about HF so find how much F is in 2.3g: 2.3 * 0.4525 = 1.041g
Find comp. percentage of HF
18.99+1.008 = 19.998; H/total F/total
Hydrogen 5.041%
Fluorine 94.959%
Laws of conservation of say we have 1.041g of fluorine in our HF. We know 1.041 is 94.959% of the mass of HF so do some simple math to find the remaining: 1.041/0.94959 = 1.096g
