Answer : The empirical formula for $C_2H_4(OH)_2$ is, $CH_2(OH)$

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For determining the empirical formula, we need to determine the least whole number and then divide the whole number by the least whole number.

The given molecular formula is, $C_2H_4(OH)_2$

In this the least whole number is, 2

So, the empirical formula will be, $C_{\frac{2}{2}}H_{\frac{4}{2}}(OH)_{\frac{2}{2}}=C_1H_2(OH)_1$

Hence, the empirical formula for $C_2H_4(OH)_2$ is, $CH_2(OH)$

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

The picture below will show you the final product and mechanism.

In the first step, the NaNH₂ is a strong base, so, this base will substract the hydrogen from carbon 2, to generate a negative charge there, and then, carbon 2 becomes a nucleophyle.

As a nucleophyle it will attack to the CH₃I in the next step, and it will attach to the CH₃.

The second step is just a regular step to reduce the triple bond of the alkyne to alkane or alkene, this will depend on the quantity of the reactant. In this case, an alkene.

Hope this helps,,,,,,k
