Answer:
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 = [tex]\frac{mass of chlorine}{total mass}[/tex] x 100
% of Cl = [tex]\frac{5.753}{15.001}[/tex] x 100 = 38.35%
% of F = [tex]\frac{mass of fluorine}{total mass}[/tex] x 100
% of F = [tex]\frac{9.248}{15.001}[/tex] x 100 = 61.65%
