Answer: The empirical formula is
Explanation:
Mass of Pb = 4.33 g
Mass of O = (5.00-4.33) g = 0.67 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles
Moles of Pb =
Moles of O =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For Pb =
For O =
The ratio of Pb O= 1: 2
Hence the empirical formula is
