Expert Solution
Step 1 empirical formula

To solve thia problem we have consider that mass of given compound is 100 g 

Then according to the percentage we get the mass of all elements

Now we calculate the number of mole of each elements using there molar mass 

And finally divide all mole by smallest fraction to make the number of mole as simple whole number ratio .

We get empirical formula by combination of all elements according to there number of mole .
