QUESTION:

A compound containing selenium and fluorine is decomposed in the laboratory and produces 2.231 g of selenium and 3.221 g of fluorine. Calculate the empirical formula of the compound.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The atomic weight of Se = 78.96 g/mol. The amount of Se produced = 2.231 g

For Se:

mole = 2.231g / 78.96 g/mol

mole = 0.028254812

Atomic weight of F = 19.00 g/mol . The amount of F produced = 3.221 g
