Question:
The reaction of 1.36 g of manganese with excess cholrine produced 4.00 g of chloride compound of manganese. Determine the empirical formula of the product.
If I calculate this with cholrine as [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] I get [tex]Mn_{3}Cl_{4}[/tex].
But if I calculate it with cholrine as [tex]Cl[/tex] I get [tex]Mn_{3}Cl[/tex].
Which way is correct?
