The relative number of mass of elements, 'X' and 'Y' in a compound is

1.	The relative number of mass of elements, 'X' and 'Y' in a compound is 0.25 and 0.5. The empirical formula of compound is
Answer» XY `X_2Y` `XY_2` `X_2Y_2` Solution :Relative no. of moles of 'X' of `=(0.25)/(N_A)` = 0.25 and 'Y' `=(0.5)/(N_A)=0.5`[where, `N_A` atom = 1 mole] Mole ratio of 'X' = 0.25/0.25=1 Mole ratio of 'Y' 0.5/0.25=2 EMPIRICAL FORMULA `=XY_2`
