Solve the following problems to determine the empirical formula. Show the complete factors to calculate number of moles, then the molar ration and finally the empirical formula.
1. Calcium bromide is a compound used in photography and the manufactur of fire extinguishing
materials. Analysis of a 20.00 gram sample of calcium bromide yields 4,02 grams of calcium and
15.95 grams of bromine. Calculate the number of moles of both calcium and bromide, then
determine the mole ratio to write an empirical formula for calcium bromide,
