A compound contains 50%of X (atomic mass 10)and 50% Y (atomic mass 20) . Give its molecular formula .

A compound contains 50%of X (atomic mass 10)and 50% Y (atomic mass 20)

1.	A compound contains 50%of X (atomic mass 10)and 50% Y (atomic mass 20) . Give its molecular formula .
Answer» SOLUTION : `:.` The Empirical Formula is `X_(2)Y` Empirical Formula MASS = 20 + 20 = 40 Molecular mass = Sum of atomic mass = 40 N = 1, `:.` Molecular formula = `("Empirical Formula")_(n)` = `(X_(2)Y)_(1) X_(2)Y .`
