Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c): Relative no. of moles of ' $X$ ' $=\frac{0.25}{N_{A}}=0.25$ and ${ }^{\prime} Y^{\prime}=\frac{0.5}{N_{A}}=0.5 \quad$ [where, $N_{A}$ atom $=1$ mole]\ Mole ratio of ' $X$ ' $=0.25 / 0.25=1$\ Mole ratio of ' $Y$ ' $=0.5 / 0.25=2$\ Empirical formula $=X Y_{2}$\
