27g of 's × 1 mole/32.065g equals 0.84
13.4g of o × 1 mole/16g equals 0.83
Divide all these by the smallest number then round to the nearest number.

The simplest number ratio representation of the atoms of a compound is called the empirical formula.

The empirical formula can be formed by:

[tex]27 \text{g of S}\;\times \dfrac{1 \text{mole}}{32.065 \;\text{g}} & = 0.84[/tex]

[tex]13.4 \text{ g of O}\;\times \dfrac{1 \text{mole}}{16 \;\text{g}} & = 0.83[/tex]

[tex]59.6 \text{ g of Cl}\;\times \dfrac{1 \text{mole}}{35.453 \;\text{g}} & = 1.68[/tex]

Divide all the above numbers by the smallest number that is by 0.83

  • S: 1

  • O: 1

  • Cl: 2

Therefore, the empirical formula can be represented as: SOCl₂
