beyond stumped! stuck on 6&7 5) What is the experimental empirical formula of zinc chloride? Determine the simplest whole number ratio of moles of zinc used, to moles of chlorine reacted in the zinc chloride that was produced. (Take your answers to #4 and #5, and divide both values by whatever value is smaller.) Cl=0.0257/0.0257 =1 Zn= 0.0275/0.0257 = 1.07 = 1 so a 1:1 ratio 6) Determine the actual empirical formula of zinc chloride, based on the ionic charges of zinc and chloride ions, using your rules for ionic nomenclature ZnCl2 7) Does your experimental empirical formula agree
