Question

What are the values for % Cl and % F, respectively, for Sample II?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass percentages of chlorine and fluorine:

Given:

Mass of chlorine = 5.753g

Mass of fluorine = 9.248g

Find the total of the masses given:

Total mass = mass of chlorine + mass of fluorine = 5.753 + 9.248 = 15.001g

% of Cl =
`(mass of chlorine)/(total mass)` x 100

% of Cl =
`(5.753)/(15.001)` x 100 = 38.35%

% of F =
`(mass of fluorine)/(total mass)` x 100

% of F =
`(9.248)/(15.001)` x 100 = 61.65%
