Answer:
They test it using the scientific method.
The reaction between hydrogen (H2) and fluorine (F2) is given below,
H2 + F2 ---> 2HF
One mole of both hydrogen and fluorine yields to 2 moles of hydrogen fluoride. This can also be expressed as, 2 grams of hydrogen and 38 grams of fluorine will form 40 grams of hydrogen fluoride. From the given, only 20 grams of HF is formed with 19 g of it being fluorine. Thus, the percentage fluorine of the compound formed is 95%.
