Sulfur and fluorine form several different compounds including sulfur hexafluori

Question

Sulfur and fluorine form several different compounds including sulfur hexafluoride and sulfur tetrafluoride. Decomposition of a sample of sulfur hexafluoride produced 4.47 g of fluorine and 1.22 gof sulfur, while decomposition of a sample of sulfur tetrafluoride produced 4.45 g of fluorine and 1.82 gof sulfur.

Part A

Calculate the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur for the sample of sulfur hexafluoride.

Part B

Calculate the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur for the sample of sulfur tetrafluoride.

Explanation / Answer

Part A

mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur = 4.47/1.22 g = 3.664 gm

Part B

mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur = 4.45/1.82 g = 2.445 gm
