Question

Match each molecular formula to the corresponding empirical formula.

Answer 1

Explanation:

C₄H₈O₂                      C₂H₄O

C₄H₁₂O₄                       CH₃O

C₂H₁₀O₂                      CH₅O

The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of the different elements that makes up a compound.

The molecular formula is the true formula of the compound. It expresses the actual number of moles of atoms of the different elements present in a molecule of the compound.

C₄H₈O₂                      C₂H₄O

4: 8 : 2 divided by 2 gives 2: 4 : 1

C₄H₁₂O₄                       CH₃O

4: 12: 4  divided by 3 gives 1: 3: 1

C₂H₁₀O₂                      CH₅O

2: 10: 2 divided by 2 gives 1: 5: 1
