The question says: when .422 g of phosphorus is burned, .967 g of a white oxide is obtained. Determine the empirical formula of the oxide.
I did the calculations and got that there would be 1 mole Phosphorus and 4.29 mol Oxygen. To get the empirical formula, I would need to get them to whole numbers, right? What would my whole numbers be?
