Answer:
A molecular formula tells us what atoms and how many of each type of atom are present in a molecule.
Explanation:
If only one atom of a specific type is present, no subscript is used.
For atoms that have two or more present, a subscript is written after the symbol for that atom.
Molecular formulas do not indicate how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.

Answer:
K₂CrO₅
Explanation:
The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. To find the empirical formula, we follow the procedure below:
Elements Potassium Chromium Oxygen
Mass 6.52 4.34 5.34
Molar mass 39 60 16
Number of moles 6.52/39 4.34/60 5.34/16
0.167 0.072 0.333
Divide through by
the smallest 0.167/0.072 0.072/0.072 0.333/0.072
2.3 1 4.6
2 1 5
Empirical formula K₂CrO₅
1.hydrogen
2.carbon
3.argon
4.titanium
5.cesium
