Question
Calculate the empirical formula of the alum. Show (URGENT NEED HELP FAST) calculations for moles a hydrate and moles water. Chart is second photo and can be used for reference.
**Calculating the Empirical Formula of Alum**

To determine the empirical formula of the alum, follow the procedure outlined in Example 1. Ensure you show your calculations for Trial 1.

- **Moles Anhydrate**: 

  (Note: The molar mass of \( \text{KAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \) is 258.21 g/mol)
  
  _[Space for input of calculated moles]_

- **Moles Water**:

  _[Space for input of calculated moles]_

**Results**:

- **Trial 1**: \( \text{KAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \cdot \_\_ \text{H}_2\text{O} \)
- **Trial 2**: \( \text{KAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \cdot \_\_ \text{H}_2\text{O} \)
