Silicon (Si = 28) forms a compound with ...

Silicon (Si = 28) forms a compound with chlorine (Cl = 35.5) in which 5.6 g of silicon is combined with 21.3 g of chlorine. Calculate the empirical formula of the compound.
[Hint. Total mass of silicon and chlorine in the compound = 5.6 + 21.3 = 26.9
% age of Si `=(5.6)/(26.9)xx100` and
%age of Cl `=(21.3)/(26.9)xx100`
