Where does most of the mass of the universe come from? In ordinary matter, most of the mass is contained in atoms, and the majority of the mass of an atom resides in the nucleus, made of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are each made of three quarks.
Answer:
Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH
Explanation:
Data Given:
Molecular Formula = C₈H₈
Empirical Formula = ?
Solution
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
C₈H₈ Consist of Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)
Now
Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound
C : H
8 : 8
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H
8/8 : 8/8
1 : 1
So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH
