Question
Using John Dalton's law of multiple proportions. There are two different compounds of sulfur and fluorine. In SF6, the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 3.55 gF/gS. IN the compound, SFx, the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 1.18 g F/g S. What is the value of X for the second compound?
ANd it gives me a hint: Determine the relationship between the mass ratios.
*Express your answer as an integer.

I think there are easier ways to determine the formula but here is what I think.
SF6.......SFx
S<sub>3.55/1.18</sub>F<sub>6.00/1.00</sub> =
S<sub>3.00</sub>F<sub>6.00</sub> =
SF<sub>2</sub>
Check my thinking.
