How do i convert into whole numbers - empirical chemistry?

I have done my working out i need to convert this amount into whole numbers to check if i have the right number for it.


Please help convert this into whole numbers and show full working out, i need to show this. 0.006 : 0.03How do i convert into whole numbers - empirical chemistry?
I thing that you have 0.006 moles X and 0.03 moles Y


Divide by the smallest number :


0.03 / 0.006 = 5


the formula will be XY5


Sorry if I do not understand your question


I thing that it is better if you show all the questionHow do i convert into whole numbers - empirical chemistry?
when working with empirical formula ratios, in order to get the numbers into whole numbers, you simply find the smallest number - in this case, it would be 0.006 - and divide each number, including the smallest, by that number.





i.e. the ratio is .006 : .03


therefore = 0.006/0.006 : 0.03/0.006


= 1: 5





therefore, your simplest whole number ratio is 1 : 5
0.03 / 0.006 = 5.


Meaning that 0.03 is 5 times bigger than 0.006.


The ratio therefore = 1:5
