A common mineral in Earth's crust has the chemical composition 18.14% Mn, 60.719%, and 21.14% O by mass. What is it's empirical formula (MnxWyOz) ?
You have to divide each percentage by the mass of the element
mass of Mn 54.9
mass of Oxygen 16
mass of W is 183.84
Mn; 18.14 / 54.9 = 0.33
W; 60.719 / 183.84 = 0.33
O, 21.14 / 16 = 1.32
now divide everything by 0.33 (the smallest value)
Mn, 0.33 / 0.33 = 1
W = 0.33/0.33/1
O = 1.32 / 0.33 = 4
The formula of the compound is
MnWO4.
