To find the empirical formula of the compound formed by elements 'P' and 'Q', we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the mass of 'P' and 'Q' in the compound Given that the percentage of 'P' in the compound is 27.3%, we can find the percentage of 'Q' by subtracting the percentage of 'P' from 100%. \[ \text{Percentage of Q} = 100\% - 27.3\% = 72.7\% \] ...
