Respuesta :

m(Fe)=55.85 g
m(Cl)=106.5 g
M(Fe)=55.85 g/mol
M(Cl)=35.45 g/mol

n(Fe)=m(Fe)/M(Fe)
n(Fe)=55.85/55.85=1

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=106.5/35.45=3

Answer:FeCl3

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula, we divide all the give masses by the relative atomic mass. The whole number ratio now gives us the empirical formula as shown in the image attached for details.
