Density is the mass of compound divided by its volume can be shown as follows:
40 mL of snow having 20 g of mass calculated from density.
Now, 10 cm of snow = 3.93 inches = 20 g
As, 10 inches of rain will produce 11 inches of ice as the volume of ice is bigger than rain water.
10 inches rain = 11 inches snow
3.93 inches of snow produced by
Thus, 3.57 incehs of rain produces by 10 cm snow.

The answer is:
The empirical formula is the option B.
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.
We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.
Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)
A.
It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.
B.
It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.
C.
It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.
D.
It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.
Hence, the empirical formula is the option B.
Have a nice day!
