Answer:

C8H12F6

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each atom in order to find the empirical formula (The empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms present in a molecule). Using the empirical formula and the molar mass we can find molecular formula as follows:

<em>Moles C:</em>

2.35g * (1mol / 12g) = 0.1958 moles C

<em>Moles H:</em>

0.294g (1mol /1g) = 0.294 moles H

<em>Moles F -Molar mass: 19.0g/mol-: </em>

Mass F: 5.43g - 2.35g C - 0.294g H = 2.786g F * (1mol / 19.0g) = 0.1466 moles F

The moles of atoms dividing in the moles of F (Lower number of moles) produce the simplest ratio as follows:

C = 0.1958mol C / 0.1466mol F = 1.33

H =0.294mol H / 0.1466mol F = 2

F = 0.1466 mol F / 0.1466mol F = 1

As the empirical formula requires whole numbers, this ratio multiplied 3 times:

C = 4

H = 6

F=3

The empirical formula is:

C4H6F3

With molar mass of:

4C = 12*4 = 48

6H = 1*6 = 6

3F = 19*3 = 57

The molar mass is: 48g/mol + 6g/mol + 57g/mol = 111g/mol

As we know the molecule has a molar mass between 219-225g/mol and the empirical formula is 111g/mol, 2 times empirical formula will produce a molecule with the molar mass of the molecule, that is:

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
