Solution

The correct option is A $Z n {C r}_{2} O_{4}$
Number of moles of $Z n = \frac{9.81}{65.4} = 0.15 m o l$
Number of moles of $C r = \frac{1.8 \times 10^{23}}{N_{A}} = 0.3 m o l$
Number of moles of $O = 0.6 m o l$
The molar ratio is $Z n : C r : O = 1 : 2 : 4$
So, the empirical formula of compound is $Z n {C r}_{2} O_{4}$ .
