Question
Chapter 6, Problem 14SAQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Empirical formula of the compound decomposed in the laboratory is to be found.
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula is used to obtain the smallest whole number ratio of each type of the atoms present in a compound. The empirical formula does not provide the ratio of masses of atoms present in a molecule. Molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula.
