Answer:
TiCl2
Explanation:
Mass of the chloride of titanium= 1.31 g
Mass of titanium= 0.528 g
Therefore mass of chlorine = 1.31-0.528 = 0.782 g
To determine the empirical formulae of the titanium chloride, divide the mass of each element by its relative atomic mass and divide through by the lowest ratio.
Ti- 0.528/48 = 0.011, Cl- 0.782/35.5 = 0.022
Ti- 0.011/0.011 , Cl- 0.022/0.011
Ti- 1, Cl-2
Hence the required empirical formula is TiCl2
