Question

Empirical formula of c3h12o6

Answer 1

Answer:

$CH_{4} O_{2}$

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in a compound to one another. To find the empirical formula given a molecular formula, divide all the subscripts by their greatest common factor.

3, 12, and 6 can all be divided by 3, which makes the empirical formula $CH_{4} O_{2}$
