A compound contains 50% of X (atomic mass 10) and 50% Y (atomic mass 2

1.	A compound contains 50% of X (atomic mass 10) and 50% Y (atomic mass 20). Give its empirical formula.
Answer» Solution : `therefore`The EMPIRICAL FORMULA is `X_(2)Y` Empirical Formula mass=20+20=40 `n=1,therefore` MOLECULAR formula=`("Empirical Formula")_(n)=(X_(2)Y)_(1)=X_(2)Y`.
