QuestionA 7.021 g sample of manganese reacts with excess chlorine to form a 16.08 g metal chloride. Find the empirical formula: Mn,Cl\mathrm{Mn}, \mathrm{Cl}.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the ratio of manganese and chlorine.
RatioofMn=0.128mol/0.128mol=Ratio\, of\, Mn =0.128\, mol /0.128\, mol =RatioofCl=0.256mol/0.128mol=2Ratio\, of\, Cl =0.256\, mol /0.128\, mol =2The empirical formula of the metal chloride is MnCl2.
