When platinum reacts with flooring, a new compound containing both platinum and four Florida is formed. If you know the masses of two of them, you confined the mass of the third by using the law of conservation of Mass. So we know that our final product has a massive 500.519 grams and 0.3 to 7 grams of that is platinum. So the massive flooring is just the difference between these two 4.1 92 grams. Once we know the masses of both reactant sui confined the ratio of them in moles which will give us the ratio in the formula unit. So we change each two moles and we do this by using the molar mass. And once we have the moles, we find the lowest whole number ratio. This gives us the sub scripts in the compound. So if I have 0.3 to 7 grams, the platinum I change it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of platinum, which I find on the periodic table. 195 went 01 grams miss equals 0.1677 I change the grams of Floren two moles by dividing by Florence Molar Mass. And this equals 0.1010 to find the lowest whole number ratio. We divide both of these moles by the smaller number which in this case, is the platinum moles. So this is one in this equal six. So that means that my formula his PT at six if we take this compound that we just formed and react it was seen on We make a new compound that has seen on and flooring in it and releases the platinum. If I start with 0.265 grams of this and form 0.378 grams of the product, we can find out how many grams of Xena informs because it will just be the difference. According to Law of conservation of Mass 3.78 minus 0.265 or 0.113 Gramps, This allows me to find out how many moles of zine on our in the product by changing from grams to moles using the molar mass of Zine on which is 131 0.29 grams. We're point zero 008607 Moles of Seen on To find the rules of Florida in the compound, we use our initial mass and change that two moles using the molar Mass, which I find by adding the Moeller massive platinum plus six times the molar mass of flooring. His 309 went, 089 grams. And then I know that for every one mole of the compound there are six moles of Florence because that's what the ratio because the sub scripts of the formula tell us. And so this equals 0.5144 Moles Florida And so, just like we did before, we divide by the smaller one, which is the scene on, and we find a ratio again of one, 26 And so the formula for this compound is XY at six. Finally, to find the ratio of these compounds, when I combines the non in Florida, we know that will make both XY f for the Tetra fluoride and the hexafluoride or XY F six. To find the moles of zine on. I know that I start off with 1.85 times 10 to the minus four moles and I have nine times 10 to the minus six remaining. So there's 1.76 times 10 to the minus four moles of Xena in both compounds. And so if I say that X stands for the moles of XY F four and why stands for the moles of XY F six, I can say that X plus why equals 1.76 times 10 to the minus four. Because in each compound, for every mole that I started with, there's a 1 to 1 ratio. You can look at the same thing with Florin. We see that Floren there are five times 10 to the minus four moles of Floren that go to produce these two compounds because Florian is too, we say there are two times five times 10 to the minus four equals four go to the first compound so four x plus six Why or one times 10 to the minus Third equals four x plus six ply to know we have two equations with moles of the compounds in them which we can solve simultaneously. X plus y equals 1.76 times 10 to the minus for and my second equation tells me that four X plus six y equals one times 10 to the minus three. Well, multiply both equations. Multiply the top equation by four, which gives us for X plus for why equals seven point 04 times 10 to the minus four. And then we'll subtract that from our second equation. This cancels out the four x is and we're left with two. Why equals 2.96 times 10 to the minus for Or why, which is the moles of XY F six equals 1.48 times 10 to the minus four moles. Now we confined our moles of x cf four because X plus y equals 1.76 times 10 to the minus four. So substituting in X equals 1.76 times 10 to the minus four minus 1.48 times 10 to the minus for or X, which is my moles, uh, seen on tetra fluoride. There's 2.85 times 10 to the minus five moles to find the mass percent. We change our moles of each two grams when we do that, using the molar mass of the substance. So if I have 1.48 times 10 to the minus four mules of X cf six. I multiply that by the molar mass of Xena and Hexafluoride, which is 245 0.28 grams for every mole 0.363 grams. Similarly, 2.85 times 10 to the minus five moles The X e f. Four times the molar mass of XY F for which is 207 0.29 grams for every mole equals 0.0 58 grams. So the percent of each is simply the mass of the compound divided by the total mass of the two compounds. Times 100 and the percent of the second compound, the Tetra fluoride, is found to be 13.8%.
