1. Look up the atomic masses of oxygen (O) and fluorine (F):
* Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol
* Fluorine (F): 19.00 g/mol
2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by its subscript in the formula:
* Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol * 5 = 80.00 g/mol
* Fluorine (F): 19.00 g/mol * 2 = 38.00 g/mol
3. Add the results from step 2 to find the formula mass:
* 80.00 g/mol + 38.00 g/mol = 118.00 g/mol
Therefore, the formula mass of O5F2 is 118.00 g/mol.
