Question
Chapter 8, Problem 70E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The empirical formula of gallium oxide is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of the element present in the compound. The empirical formula is determined by two methods.
• Experimental synthesis data
• Percent composition
Percent composition is mostly used to determine empirical formula. In this method, after calculating the moles of each element in a compound, the mole ratio is simplified to a small whole number.
