Sagot :
Solution:
Step 1: Represent a molecular formula.
[tex]\text{molecular formula} = (\text{Si}\text{F}_{3})_{n}[/tex]
Step 2: Calculate the empirical mass.
empirical mass = (28.09 g/mol × 1) + (19.00 g/mol × 3)
empirical mass = 85.09 g/mol
Step 3: Divide the molar mass by the empirical mass.
[tex]n = \frac{\text{molar mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{\text{170.0 g/mol}}{\text{85.09 g/mol}}[/tex]
[tex]n = 2[/tex]
Step 4: Multiply the subscripts by the value of n to obtain the molecular formula.
[tex]\text{molecular formula} = (\text{Si}\text{F}_{3})_{2}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\text{molecular formula} = \text{Si}_{2}\text{F}_{6}}[/tex]
