Empirical formula
Question#1
A compound X contains 32% of A, 20% of B and remaining percentage of C, then the empirical formula of X is ( Given atomic masses of A=64, B=40; C=32) (NEET-2024)
A | B | C |
32% | 20% | 48% |
32/64 | 20/40 | 48/32 |
1/2 | 1/2 | 3/2 |
\( \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{2} : \frac{3}{2} \)
divide by smallest number of moles
1 : 1 : 3
Question#2
A compound of phosphorous oxide has 43.6% of oxygen its empirical formula is MDCAT2023
Question#3
A compound possesses 8% sulphur by mass. The least molecular mass is [AIIMS 2002]
8gm sulphur is present in 100gm of substance
32gm sulphur will present = 100/8 x 32 =400
