Answer :- .
Elements Symbol % by mass atomic mass % by mass/atomic mass simple ratio simple whole number ratio
Iron Fe 69.9 55.85 69.9/55.85 = 1.25 1.25/1.25=1(divide by smaller number of privious coloumn) 2(multiply by 2 to change in whole number )
Oxygen O 30.1 16.00 30.1/16.00 =1.88 1.88/1.25=1.5 3

imperical formula = Fe2O3 


 


 hence molecular formula is same as empirical formula    Fe2O3

  2. we can know the molar mass by mass percent
    fe is 69.9% therefore. (55.85/molar mass)x100 =69.9
    molar mass comes equal to 159.7
