Question
The mass ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1.21:1. A sample of sodium fluoride produces 28.8 g of sodium upon decomposition. How much fluorine (in grams) forms?
Step 1
Given that the mass ratio of sodium to fluorine is 1.21:1, we can set up the following equation: 1.21x = 28.8 where x is the mass of sodium in grams. Solving for x, we find: x = 28.8 / 1.21 x ≈ 23.8 g Show more…
