The ratio of the mass of magnesium to fluorine in magnesium fluoride is 1.33: 1. A sample of magnesium fluoride produces 17.2 g of magnesium upon decomposition. How much fluorine is formed?​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{mass of fluorine} & = 17.2 \: \cancel{\text{g Mg}} \times \frac{\text{1.563 g F}}{1 \: \cancel{\text{g Mg}}} \\ & = \boxed{\text{26.9 g}} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, the mass of fluorine formed is 26.9 g.
