Acompound is found to be 3 percent hydrogen, 32 percent phosphorus, and 65 percent oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound?

hpo

hpo4

h(po4)3

h3po4

Empirical formula is H₃PO₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 3%

Percentage of P = 32%

Percentage of oxygen = 65%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 3 / 1= 3

Number of gram atoms of O = 65 / 16 = 4.06

Number of gram atoms of P = 32 / 31 = 1.03

Atomic ratio:

            H                      :      P                 :            O

           3/1.03               :     1.03/1.03      :         4.06/1.03

            3                      :        1               :              4

H : P : O = 3 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is H₃PO₄.

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
