Question
A 5.70 g mixture contains both lithium fluoride, LiF, and potassium fluoride, KF. If the mixture contains 3.53 g fluorine, what is the mass of the KF in the mixture?
 
Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

First, let's analyze the given data in the question,

Mass of mixture = 5.70 g

Mass of fluorine in mixture = 3.53 g

Molar mass of lithium fluoride = Li + F = 7 + 19 = 26 g

Molar mass of potassium fluoride = K + F = 39 + 19 = 58 g
