Empirical formula of the compound contains 5 carbon atoms.
Explanation:
We have the molecular formula of the compound C₁₀H₂₂O₂.
To find the empirical formula we divide each number of atoms by the lowest number which is 2:
for carbon (C) 10 / 2 = 5
for hydrogen (H) 22 / 2 = 11
for oxygen (O) 2 / 2 = 1
The empirical formula is C₅H₁₁O and contains 5 carbon atoms.

Magnesium metal with the application of heat reacts with oxygen in air to form magnesium oxide. The balanced chemical reaction is: 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO. You can tell that the magnesium metal has reacted completely when you can no longer see small sparks. This means that it has been completely consumed and no reaction occurs anymore.
