5 A sample of a compound of xenon and fluorine was confined in a bulb with a pressure of 18 torr Hydrogen was added to the bulb until the pressure was 72 torr Passage of an electric spark through the mixture produced Xe and HF After the HF was removed by reaction with solid KOH the final pressure of xenon and unreacted hydrogen in the bulb was 36 torr What is the empirical formula of the xenon fluoride in the original sample Note Xenon fluorides contain only one xenon atom per molecule Also The number of moles of gas is proportional to the partial pressures XeFx H 2 Xe xHF
