<u>Explanation:</u>
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
In both the formulas, the nature of atoms remains the same but the number differs.
For Example: The molecular formula of oxalic acid is 
but the empirical formula of oxalic acid is 
To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:
The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.
Atomic mass silicon = 28.085 u
1 mol Si ---------------- 28.085 g
? ------------------------ 245 g
245 x 1 / 28.085 =><span> 8.72 mol</span>

Answer : The volume of liquid is 420 mL.
Explanation :
Density : The mass per unit volume of a substance is known as density.
Formula used:
As we are given:
Density of mercury = 13.5 g/mL
Mass = 12.5 pounds
First we have to convert mass of sample from pound to gram.
Conversion used:
As, 1 pound = 453.6 g
So, 12.5 pounds = 453.6 × 12.5 g = 5670 g
Now we have to calculate the volume of liquid.
Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:
Volume = 420 mL
Therefore, the volume of liquid is 420 mL.
Explanation:
nuclear fusion yields more energy than nuclear fission and the products of the reaction are not radioactive
