Molybdenum can form a wide series of halide compounds, including four different fluoride compounds. The percent by mass of molyb

denum in the four compounds is 63.0%,
56.0%,
50.0%,
and 46.0%.
Determine the formula and name for each of the four different molybdenum fluorides.

The formula and names of the compounds are:

1. Formula of compound => MoF₃

Name of compound => Molybdenum trifluoride

2. Formula of compound => MoF₄

Name of compound => Molybdenum tetrafluoride

3. Formula of compound => MoF₅

Name of compound => Molybdenum pentafluoride  

4. Formula of compound => MoF₆

Name of compound => Molybdenum hexafluoride  

1. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 63.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 63.0%

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 63 = 37%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 63.0%

F = 37%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 63.0 / 96 = 0.656

F = 37 / 19 = 1.947

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.656 / 0.656 = 1

F = 1.947 / 0.656 = 3

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₃

Name of compound => Molybdenum trifluoride

2. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 56.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 56.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 56 = 44%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 56%

F = 44%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 56 / 96 = 0.583

F = 44 / 19 = 2.316

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.583 / 0.583 = 1

F = 2.316 / 0.583 = 4

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₄

Name of compound => Molybdenum tetrafluoride

3. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 50.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 50.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 50 = 50%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 50%

F = 50%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 50 / 96 = 0.520

F = 50 / 19 = 2.632

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.520 / 0.520 = 1

F = 2.632 / 0.520 = 5

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₅

Name of compound => Molybdenum pentafluoride  

4. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 46.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 46.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 46 = 54%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 46%

F = 54%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 46 / 96 = 0.479

F = 54 / 19 = 2.842

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.479 / 0.479 = 1

F = 2.842 / 0.479 = 6

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₆

Name of compound => Molybdenum hexafluoride

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?
ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.
