    BF₃ ⇒ 0.891

    SF₄ ⇒ 0.109

    Explanation:

    It seems the question is incomplete, in that case I will answer using the values that have been found in simmilar questions online. If the values in your problem vary, keep that in mind when solving it.

    " A 9.00 L tank at 23.6 °C is filled with 12.2 g of boron trifluoride gas and 2.37 g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction of each gas. Round each of your answers to 3 significant digits. "

    First we convert g of both compounds to mol, using their molar mass:

    Boron trifluoride BF₃ ⇒ Molar mass = 67,82 g/mol

    12.2 g : 67.82 g/mol = 0.180 mol BF₃

    Sulfur tetrafluoride SF₄ ⇒ Molar mass = 108 g/mol

    2.37 g : 108 g/mol = 0.022 mol SF₄

    Total number of moles = moles BF₃ + moles SF₄ = 0.180 + 0.022 = 0.202

    Finally we calculate the mole fracion of each gas:

    BF₃ ⇒ 0.180 / 0.202 = 0.891 SF₄ ⇒ 0.022 / 0.202 = 0.109
