Question 112

A sample of a white oxide produced during the combustion of phosphorus was analysed. It was found to contain 6.2 g of phosphorus atoms chemically combined with 8.0 g of oxygen atoms.

Calculate the empirical formula of this phosphorus compound. Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr​): P=31\text{P} = 31P=31, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16.
