Answer:
Na₂SO₃.7H₂O
Explanation:
The empirical formula of the substance is Na₂SO₃.7H₂O.
Let's assume that the total mass of the given substance is 100g.
Therefore, we have 50 g H₂O, 19.1 g oxygen, 18.2 g sodium and 12.7 g sulfur.
Now, calculate the number of moles present of each element.
H₂O = 50/18 = 2.8 moles
Na = 18.2/23 = 0.8 moles
O = 19.1/16 = 1.2 moles
S = 12.7/32 = 0.4 moles
Divide all of the above values by the smallest number i.e., 0.4. This gives the following mole ratios:
Na: S: O: H₂O = 2: 1: 3: 7
Hence, the empirical formula is Na₂SO₃.7H₂O
