molecules can be made of two of the same elements whereas a compound is always made of two different elements
The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃
<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
Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)

Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)

Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :

mol ratio C : H : O =

From the calculation, the standard free energy of the system is -359kJ.
<h3>What is the standard free-energy?</h3>
The standard free-energy is the energy present in the system. We have to first obtain the cell potential using the formula;
Ereduction - E oxidation = 0.96 V - 0.34 V = 0.62 V
Using the formula;
ΔG = -nFEcell
ΔG =-(6 * 96500 * 0.62)
ΔG =-359kJ
