Question

True or false the molecular formula for ibuprofen is the same as the empirical formula

Answer 1

I believe the above statement is true.
The empirical formula for ibuprofen is C₁₃H₁₈O₂, which is also its molecular formula. The empirical formula of a compound represents the lowest whole number ratio of the elements in it. The molecular formula on the other hand indicates the exact number of atoms in a molecule. Ibuprofen is a drug that is used to manage mild to moderate pain, fever, inflammation, menstrual cramps, and types of arthritis.
