The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula
molecular formula - P₂O₅
