Empirical Formula - Video Solution
Asbestos was used for years as an insulating material in buildings until exposure to asbestos was found to cause lung cancer. Asbestos is a mineral containing magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen. One form of asbestos, chrysolite, has the composition 26.31% Mg, 20.27% Si, 1.45% H, and the rest oxygen. Determine the empirical formula of chrysolite.
