The empirical formula : CH₃
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
2.5 g sample
2.002 g Carbon
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
Mass of Hydrogen :
= 2.5 - 2.002
= 0.498
Mol ratio C : H :
C : 2.002/12 = 0.167
H : 0.498/1 = 0.498
Divide by 0.167 :
C : H = 1 : 3
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that:

From equation (3) , multiplying (-1) with equation (3) and interchanging reactant with the product side; we have:

Multiplying (2) with equation (4) ; we have:

From equation (1) ; multiplying (-1) with equation (1); we have:

From equation (2); multiplying (3) with equation (2); we have:

Now; Adding up equation (5), (6) & (7) ; we get:
