Answer:
CH₂O
Explanation:
Empirical formula:
It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number.
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula shows the actual whole number ratio of elements present in compound.
Given molecular formula: C₆H₁₂O₆
Empirical formula = CH₂O
In molecular formula six moles of carbon six moles of oxygen and 12 moles of hydrogen are present.
To get the smallest whole number we divide the each number by 6 and we get CH₂O which is empirical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆.
Answer:
The coefficient that should be inserted in front of chlorine is 2
Explanation:
Sn + 2Cl₂ → SnCl₄
As we have 4 atoms of chlorine in product side, we need 4 Cl in reactant side.
Chlorine is a diatomic atom, so if we have 2 mol of it, we are having 4 atoms of Cl.
The law of conservation of mass must be respected in every chemical equation
If this is a true or false question then the answer is true.
