The empirical formula of the following compounds 0.903 g of phosphorus combined with 6.99 g of bromine.
<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula of a chemical compound in chemistry. Sulfur monoxide's empirical formula, SO, and disulfur dioxide's empirical formula, S2O2, are two straightforward examples of this idea. As a result, both the sulfur and oxygen compounds sulfur monoxide and disulfur dioxide have the same empirical formula.

How to find the empirical formula?</h3>
Convert the given masses of phosphorus and bromine into moles by multiplying the reciprocal of their molar masses. The molar masses of phosphorus and bromine are 30.97 and 79.90 g/mol, respectively.
Moles phosphorus = 0.903 g phosphorus
= 0.0293 mol
Moles bromine 6.99 g bromine
=0.0875 mol
The preliminary formula for compound is P0.0293Bro.0875. Divide all the subscripts by the subscript with the smallest value which is 0.0293. The empirical formula is P1.00Br2.99 ≈ P₁Br3 or PBr3

1. Hydrogen has 1 electron.
First, in order to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in help in identifying it, we must find the heat absorbed by the calorimeter using:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10)
Q = 279.45 cal/g
Next, we use the same formula for the metal as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heal released by the metal.
-279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [minus sign added as energy released]
c = 0.165
The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.165 cal/gC
