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
