When we write a formula of a compound in its simplest form, it is empirical formula.
Given the molecular formula is = C₁₈H₃₆
Now we can relate both empirical and molecular formula as;
Molecular formula = n x empirical formula
C₁₈H₃₆ = 18 x CH₂
So the empirical formula of C₁₈H₃₆ is CH₂
B, As only are metalloids or have semimetallic properties.
The sum of the masses of the reactants must equal the sum of the masses of the products; as required by
the Principle of Conservation of Mass.
