No, why? Cause if you're winding up the clock it's basically doing what it needs to do. So there's no need for batteries.. I hope my sad sentence make sense :p

What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula

ipn [44]

Answer: $C_2H_2O_2$

Explanation:

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.

The empirical formula is $CHO$

The empirical weight of $CHO$ = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{29}=2$

The molecular formula will be= $2\times CHO=C_2H_2O_2$

Thus molecular formula will be $C_2H_2O_2$
