Question

Platinum forms two different compounds with chlorine. One contains $26.7$% $Cl$ by mass, and the other contains $42.1$ per $Cl$ by mass $(Pt=195)$. The empirical formulae of the two compounds are $PtC{l}_2$ and $PtC{l}_4$ respectively.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

According to given conditions,
% % $\frac{wt.}{mol.wt.}$ simple ratio empirical formula
$Pt$ $73.3$ $0.38$ $1$
$Cl$ $26.7$ $0.75$ $2$ $PtC{l}_2$
$Pt$ $57.9$ $0.3$ $1$
$Cl$ $42.1$ $1.18$ $4$ $PtC{l}_4$
Hence, the given data is correct.
