Question
Chapter 7, Problem 74E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The empirical formula of the original compound is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula of a compound gives the ratio of the elements present in the compound. The empirical formula does not represent the actual number of elements in the compound. The empirical formula of a compound is considered by taking the ratio of elements present in the compound.
