Answer:
The answer to your question is maybe letter D, but the last oxygen needs a number 6.
Explanation:
The empirical formula gives the actual elements that form part of a molecule but not the total numbers.
The molecular formula gives the total number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
We must factor the molecular formula to know if a formula is the empirical formula of that.
A. CH₄ C₂H₆ = 2(CH₃) these are not empirical molecular formulas
B. CH₂O C₄H₆O these are not empirical-molecular formulas
C. O₂ O₃ these are not empirical-molecular formulas
D. C₃H₄O₃ C₆H₈O these are not empirical-molecular formulas
the last oxygen needs a number 6 to be
the answer.
