Answer» A crystalline hydrated salt on being rendered anhydrous loses 45.6% of its weight. The percentage composition of the anhydrous salt is: $A l = 10.5 %, K = 15.1 %, S = 24.8 %$ and oxygen $= 49.6 %$ [Molar mass of $A l = 27, K = 39, S = 32$ ]. What is the empirical formula of the hydrated salt?
