INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE Formula of a Compound from Combining Masses Oxides of virtually every element are known. Bromine, for example, forms several oxides when treated with ozone. Suppose you allow 1.350 g of bromine, Br₂, to react with ozone and obtain 2.026 g of Br O. What is the formula of the product?
