Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams 
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams 
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
 Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
 Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
 Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
 Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
 Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
 P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
 Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5 
So the empirical formula would be PCl5

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Group 1 (or IA)

Explanation:

If element X is a halogen, then it belongs to the group 17 (or VIIA, under a different notation).

For each extra unit of atomic number, the group number increases by 1. That means that the X+1 element would belong to the group 18 (or VIIIA). <em>The X+2 element would thus belong in the group 1 </em>(or IA) one period higher (higher as in numeric value, not as in position in the periodic table).
