(a)
Interpretation:
Empirical formula of compound that has lithium and oxygen has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Mole is S.I. unit. The number of moles is calculated as ratio of mass of compound to molar mass of compound.
Molar mass is sum of the total mass in grams of all atoms that make up mole of particular molecule that is mass of 1 mole of compound. The S.I unit is
The expression to relate number of moles, mass and molar mass of compound is as follows:
Empirical formula is simplest positive integer ratio of atoms in the compound. It only gives proportions of elements in compound.
