The empirical formula for a compound is KClO3
Explanation
find the moles of each element
moles = % composition/molar mass
molar mass of of potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol
moles of potassium = 31.9 / 39 = 0.818 moles
moles of chlorine = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of oxygen = 39.2/ 16 = 2.45 moles
find the mole ratio by dividing with the smallest mole = 0.814 moles
potassium = 0.818/0.814 =1
chlorine = 0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen = 2.45 /0.814 =3
the empirical formula is therefore = KClO3
Positrons are spontaneously emitted from the nuclei of potassium -37.

Explanation:</h3>
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂
[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)
[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH
[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>
