In S F 6 the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 3.55 g and nbspFg and nbspS . In the other compound SF X the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 1.18 g and nbspFg and nbspS . What is the value?

Answer 1

ye

Answer 2

The value of X can be calculated by comparing the ratios of the masses of fluorine and sulfur in the two compounds:

For SF6: 3.55g F / 1g S = 3.55 For SFX: 1.18g F / 1g S = 1.18

Therefore, X = 1.18 / 3.55 = 0.33. Hence, the value of X in SF X is 0.33.
