उत्तर
| Element | Atomic mass | Percentage | Relative Number of moles | Simplest mole ratio | Whole number ratio |
| K | 39 | 47.9 | `47.9/39` = 1.2 | `1.2/0.6` = 2 | 2 |
| Be | 9 | 5.5 | `5.5/9` = 0.6 | `0.6/0.6` = 1 | 1 |
| F | 19 | 46.6 | `46.6/19` = 2.4 | `2.4/0.6` = 4 | 4 |
The empirical formula of compound = K2BeF4.
