Explanation:

1. A 15.0 gram sample of a compound is found to contain 8.83 grams of sodium and 6.17 grams of  sulfur. Calculate the empirical formula of this compound.

Moles Na = 8.83 grams / 22.98 g/mol = 0.384 moles

Moles S = 6.17 grams / 32.065 g/mol = 0.192 moles

To find the mol ratio we divide by the smallest amount of moles

Na: 0.384  / 0.192  = 2

S: 0.192 /0.192 = 1

For each mol S we have 2 mol Na

The empirical formula is Na2S

2. Analysis of a 10.150 gram sample of a compound known to contain only phosphorus and oxygen  indicates a phosphorus content of 4.433 grams. What is the empirical formula of this compound?

Mass of oxygen = 10.150 - 4.433 = 5.717 grams

Moles P = 4.433 grams / 30.97 g/mol

Moles P = 0.143 moles

Moles O = 5.717 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 0.357 moles

To find the mol ratio we divide by the smallest amount of moles

P: 0.143 moles / 0.143 moles = 1

O = 0. 357 moles / 0.143 moles = 2.5

For each P atom we have 2.5 O atoms

The empirical formula is P2O5

3. A compound is found to contain 36.48%Na, 25.41% S, and 38.11% O. Find its empirical formula.

Suppose the mass of the compound = 100 grams

Moles Na = 36.48 grams / 22.98 g/mol = 1.587 moles

Moles S = 25.41 grams / 32.065 g/mol = 0.792 moles

Moles O = 38.11 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 2.382 moles

To find the mol ratio we divide by the smallest amount of moles

Na: 1.587 moles / 0.792 moles = 2

S: 0.792 moles / 0.792 moles = 1

O: 2.382 moles / 0.792 = 3

The empirical formula = Na2SO3

4. A compound is found to contain 63.52% iron and 36.48% sulfur. Find its empirical formula.

Suppose the mass of the compound = 100 grams

Moles Fe = 63.52 grams / 55.845 g/mol = 1.137 moles

Moles S = 36.48 grams / 32.065 g/mol = 1.137 moles

The empirical formula is FeS
