Question
Chapter 8, Problem 48E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The empirical formula of the cobalt sulfide is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula of a compound gives the proportions of the elements present in the compound. The empirical formula does not give the actual number of the atoms of the elements present in the compound. The empirical formula of a compound is formed with the ratio of each element present in the compound.
