Chemistry

Leno4ka [110]4 years ago
3 0
W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol

ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x

w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123

a=2
x=7

Cl₂O₇ is the empirical formula
