    Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH

    Explanation:

    Data Given:

    Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

    Empirical Formula = ?

    Solution

    Empirical Formula:

    Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

    So,

    tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

    C₈H₈ Consist of Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

    Now

    Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

    C : H

    8 : 8

    Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

    C : H

    8/8 : 8/8

    1 : 1

    So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

    So the empirical formula will be

    Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH
