You can find fluorine in toothpaste and in some city water supplies, because fluorine strengthens teeth and helps prevent tooth decay. It does not affect the taste, scent, or appearance of water, however.

You can't find pure fluorine anywhere (well, other than from a specialty gas supplier), because it's too reactive to exist in nature. It reacts explosively with carbon and hydrocarbons, as the first person to try to make flurocarbons found out (he lost two labs that way).

How do you find the sum of fluorine?

The sum of elements like fluorine can be found by adding the atomic masses of its isotopes, weighted by their abundance in nature. The most abundant isotope of fluorine is fluorine-19, which has an atomic mass of 18.998403163 u. By accounting for the abundance of this isotope in nature, the average atomic mass of fluorine can be calculated, which is approximately 18.998 u.


How many moles of fluorine are in 3.2 moles of xenon hexafluoride?

There are 19.2 moles of fluorine in 3.2 moles of xenon hexafluoride. Xenon hexafluoride has 6 fluorine atoms in each molecule, so you multiply the moles of xenon hexafluoride by 6 to find the moles of fluorine.


How many moles in 5.67 grams of fluorine gas?

To find the number of moles in 5.67 grams of fluorine gas, you need to divide the mass by the molar mass of fluorine. The molar mass of fluorine is approximately 19 g/mol. Therefore, 5.67 grams of fluorine gas is equal to 5.67 g / 19 g/mol ≈ 0.298 mol.

How much fluorine in grams was formed when the mass ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1 to 21 to 1 A sample of sodium fluoride produced 27point7 grams of sodium upon decomposition?

To find the mass of fluorine produced, first calculate the mass of sodium fluoride: 27.7 grams of sodium / (1 part sodium / 1 part sodium fluoride) = 27.7 grams of sodium fluoride Now, since the ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1:2 (1 part sodium to 2 parts fluorine), the mass of fluorine is 27.7 grams / 2 = 13.85 grams.


Why wont chemists find anything between oxygen and fluorine?

Chemists won't find any stable compounds between oxygen and fluorine because of the large difference in electronegativity between the two elements. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and oxygen is also highly electronegative, leading to a strong repulsion between them that prevents the formation of stable compounds.


How many elements are in a fluorine atom?

Fluorine is an element, s an atom of fluorine contains only one element - fluorine. However, the fluorine molecule consists of two atoms of fluorine.

How many fluorine atoms are there in 65g of CF4?

There are four fluorine atoms in one molecule of CF4. To find the number of moles of CF4 in 65g, we would divide the mass by the molar mass of CF4. Then, knowing that there are four fluorine atoms per molecule, we can calculate the total number of fluorine atoms in 65g of CF4.
