How many Fluorine ions are there in 202 grams of CaF2
HINT: Find the percentage of Fluorine in Calcium Fluoride, then find out how many grams of fluorine are in 200 grams of Calcium Fluoride. Lastly solve for ions

Respuesta :

There are 48.72 g  Fluorine ions

Further explanation

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

In the same compound, although from different sources and formed by different processes, it will still have the same composition/comparison

%F in CaF₂ :

[tex]\tt \%F=\dfrac{2.Ar~F}{MW~CaF_2}\times 100\%\\\\\%F=\dfrac{2.19}{78}\times 100\5=48.72\%[/tex]

mass of Fluorine :

[tex]\tt 48.72\%\times 200=97.44~g[/tex]

So mass Fluorine ions(2 ions F in CaF₂⇒Ca²⁺+2F⁻) :

[tex]\tt =\dfrac{97.44}{2}=48.72~g[/tex]
