Class 11 Chemistry

Two elements X ( atomic weight = 75) and Y ( atomic weight = 16) combine to give a compound having 75.8% of X. tlThe empirical formula of the compound is?..​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Element    Percentage    At.mass   Relative no.   Ratio

                                                        of atoms

X                75.8               75               7.575.8​           1×2.2

                                                           =1.01

Y                24.2           16            1624.2​             1.5×2=3

                                                  =1.51

Therefore, the formula is X2​Y3​.
