F. <em>None of the above </em>

<em>No O atoms are present</em> as reacting substances, only O_2 and H_2O molecules.

O_2 + 2H_2O + 2e^(-) → 4OH^(-)

We must use <em>oxidation numbers</em> to decide whether oxygen or water is the substance reduced.

The oxidation number of O changes from 0 in O_2 to -2 in OH^(-).

A decrease in oxidation number is <em>reduction</em>, so O_2 is the substance  reduced.

The oxidation number of O is -2 in both H_2O and OH^(-), so water is <em>neither oxidized nor reduced</em>.

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound C₃H₆N₂ is C₃H₆N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is the formula of the compound given in the (smallest) whole number ratio of the elements of the compound

The empirical formula of S₂O₂ is SO

The empirical formula of C₃H₆O₃ is CH₂O

The given compound's molecular formula is C₃H₆N₂

The smallest whole number ratio of of the elements of the compound is 3:6:2, therefore, the empirical formula of the compound C₃H₆N₂ is C₃H₆N₂.
