To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.

A ____________ is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound
cluponka [151]
Compounds are made up of elements that exist in a fixed proportion.  These elements are composed of atoms.  Now, the atom has subatomic particles (proton, neutron and electrons), however, these particles lack the ability to take part in chemical reactions by themselves; the smallest unit of a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction, therefore, is an ATOM. 

Thus, an AT<span>OM is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound</span>
