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

Answer:

2 and 4

Explanation:

The rest of the changes are chemical. 1 has a chemical reaction happen which makes light sticks glow. 3 is because browning the meat actually causes some new compounds to form and cause caramelization.

For 2, the oxygen is simply heating up and expanding which pops the balloon. 4 is just a phase change of water vapor to liquid water.
