Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of xenon tetrafluoride = 4.658 g

To determine the number of grams of xenon in 4.658 grams of the compound xenon tetrafluoride:

The chemical formula for xenon tetrafluoride is XeF_4XeF

4

Molar mass of XeF_4XeF

4

= 207.28 g/mol

Molar mass of xenon = 131.29 g/mol

First of all, we would calculate the number of moles of XeF_4XeF

4

.

\begin{gathered}Number\;of\;moles = \frac{mass}{molar\;mass}\\\\Number\;of\;moles = \frac{4.658}{207.28}\end{gathered}
