Question

### Boron Compounds with Hydrogen

Boron forms a series of compounds with hydrogen, all with the general formula \( B_xH_y \).

\[ B_xH_y (s) + \text{excess } O_2 (g) \rightarrow \frac{x}{2} B_2O_3 (s) + \frac{y}{2} H_2O (g) \]

**Problem Statement:**
If 0.207 g of one of these compounds gives 0.590 g of \( B_2O_3 \) when burned in excess \( O_2 \), what is its empirical formula?

**Solution:**
Empirical formula: [Blank box for students to input their answer]

To solve for the empirical formula, you must calculate the moles of boron and hydrogen in the compound based on the given masses and use these mole ratios to determine the simplest whole number ratio of elements in the compound.
