Question
A compound containing phosphorus and oxygen has a molar mass of 219.9 g/mol and an empirical formula of \(\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\). Determine its molecular formula.
Solution
Step 1 of 2
The empirical molar mass is 109.94 g/mol.
True molar mass / empirical molar mass =
219.9 / 109.94 = 2.00
