The molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula. that is, if the mole wt is 219.9 gms/mole and the empirical formula weight is 110 gms/mole*, then the whole number multiple is 219.9/110 = 2 => Molecular formula => (P₂O₄)₂ => P₄O₆.
No, the water is not different it is just that the units of measurement in the US is different then those units in Europe. This is similar to how the US uses miles and Europe uses kilometers
