the empirical formula for this compound
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound
mol of element A :
mol of element G :
mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1
Answer:
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
The empirical formula is
The empirical weight of = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.
The molecular weight = 60 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:
The molecular formula will be=
Thus molecular formula will be
