The empirical formula of vitamin A : C₂₀H₃₀O

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

  • Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.  
  • Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

mol ratio of C : H : O ⇒

\tt \dfrac{83.85}{12}\div \dfrac{10.56}{1}\div \dfrac{5.58}{16}\\\\6.9875\div 10.56\div 0.34875\rightarrow divide~by~smallest(0.34875)\\\\20\div 30\div 1

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Chemical formula.

Explanation:

A chemical formula have fix proportion of atoms of elements.

Chemical formula:

A chemical formula is the way of presenting the chemical proportion of atoms of those elements, that combine to form a compound.

For example:

Water consist of two atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e water. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 2:1 in molecule of water.

H₂O

2:1

Carbon dioxide consist of two atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e carbon dioxide. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 1:2 in molecule of carbon dioxide .

CO₂

1;2
