two elements Aand B of 70percent and 30percent are present in a compound whose moles are 1.25 and 1.88 resp. if the molecular mass of the compound is 160 find its molecular formula

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Element A     Relative No. of moles = 1.25       Simplest molar ratio = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1         in Whole No. = 2
element B      Relative No. of moles = 1.88       Simplest molar ratio = 1.88 / 1.25 = 1.5      in Whole No. = 3

Hence, Empirical formula = A2B3.
