(a)
Interpretation:
The empirical formula for the compound of given percent composition has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula which provides the lowest positive whole number ratio of atoms that exists in the compound. The molecular formula of a compound can either be same as the empirical formula or a multiple of it.
Percent composition:
Percent composition is nothing but providing the mass percent of each element present in the compound.
(b)
