We have the mass of elements for a hypothetical sample of 100 g:
m N = 11.64 g
m Cl = 88.36 g
The moles are calculated:
n N = g / MM = 11.64 / 14 = 0.83 mol
n Cl = 88.36 / 35.45 = 2.50 mol
They are divided by the smallest number:
N: 0.83 / 0.83 = 1
Cl: 2.5 / 0.83 = 3
The empirical formula is NCl3.
If you liked the answer, please rate it positively, you would help me a lot, thanks.
