If 1.000g of tin (Sn) metal reacts with fluorine gas (F2) to give 1.640 g of a tin fluoride, what is the empirical formula of the product? Please show steps clearly.
Added by Victoria M.
Step 1
Given: Mass of Sn = 1.000 g Mass of tin fluoride = 1.640 g Molar mass of Sn = 118.7 g/mol Molar mass of F2 = 38.0 g/mol Number of moles of Sn = 1.000 g / 118.7 g/mol = 0.00842 mol Number of moles of F2 = 1.640 g / (2 * 38.0 g/mol) = 0.02158 mol Show more…
