    Empirical formula of compound is XF3

    Compound consist of 65% F

    In 100g of compound there is 65 g of F

    = 65 / 19 moles of Fluorine = 3.421 moles

    So moles of X = 3.421 / 3 = 1.140 moles

    And in 100 g X consist of 35 g

    So the molar mass of X = 35 / 1.140 = 30.71 g = 31 approximately

    And it is the mass of phosphorus

    So the empirical formula for the compound is PX3
