Solutions

Expert Solution

Element       %by mass            Atomic weight            Relative number          Simple ratio

Silver              47.6                        108                           47.6/108 =0.44         0.44/0.44 = 1

Tin                 52.4                       118.7         52.4/118.7 = 0.44       0.44/0.44 = 1

   The emperical formula = AgSn.
