he required empirical formula based on the data provided is Na2CO3.H2O.
What is empirical formula?
The term empirical formula refers to the formula of a compound which shows the ratio of each specie present.
We have the following;
Mass of sodium = 37.07-g
Mass of carbonate = 48.39 g
Mass of water = 14.54-g
Number of moles of sodium = 37.07-g/23 g/mol = 2 moles
Number of moles of carbonate = 48.39 g/61 g/mol = 1 mole
Number of moles of water = 14.54/18 g/mol = 1 mole
The mole ratio is 2 : 1: 1
Hence, the required empirical formula is Na2CO3.H2O
