SO4 -2, or Sulfate
Hope this helps! :)
Step one calculate the moles of each element
that is moles= % composition/molar mass
molar mass of Ca = 40g/mol, S= 32 g/mol , O= 16 g/mol
moles of Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles, S= 23.5/32 =0.734 moles, O= 47.1/16= 2.94 moles
calculate the mole ratio by dividing each mole with smallest mole that is 0.734
Ca= 0.735/0.734= 1, S= 0.734/0.734 =1, O = 2.94/ 0.734= 4
therefore the emipical formula = CaSO4
That would be correct as stated.

When sugar is heated it melts and then caramelize giving of water. After this, it turns blank (carbon) and then coverts to co2 (carbon dioxide) .
So, heating of sugar is an endothermic , decomposition and oxidation reaction.
When Ammonium Chloride is heated , it directly goes from solid state to vapour state without changing into liquid state.
So, heating of Ammonium Chloride is an example of sublimation reaction.
