I am not sure how to do empitical formulas...
Here is an example: natural magnets (Iodestones) are found to consist of iron and oxygen. If a 5.678-gram sample contains 4.111 grams of iron, what is the empitical formula of this compound?
THe gemstone zircon is composed of zirconium, silicon, and oxygen. If a sample is found to have 49.8% zirconium, 15.3% silicon, and the reaminder oxygen, what is the empirical formula of zircon?
The narcotic drug morphine has the following percent composition: 71.50%carbon, 6.71% hydrogen, 4.91% nitrogen, and 16.82% oxygen. if the molar mass of the morphine is 285.4g/mol, what are the empirical formulas of morphine?
I have a lot more but just some hints on how to do this would be appreciated...
