1g sample of tetrafluoromethane (cf) contains 90 g of carbon. what is the mass percent or nuorine in the compound?

The question is typed wrong.

The correct question should be

171 g sample of tetrafluoromethane (CF4) contains 90 g of carbon. What is the mass percent of fluorine in the compound?

-

47.37%

Explanation: -

Mass of Carbon = 90 g

Total mass of tetrafluoromethane =171g

Mass of fluorine = Total mass of tetrafluoromethane – mass of carbon

= 171 g – 90 g

= 81 g

Mass percentage of Fluorine = ( Mass of fluorine / Total mass of tetrafluoromethane ) x 100

= (81 / 171) x 100

=47.37%
