The empirical formula
represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. To determine the possible molecular formulas, we need to find the multiples of the empirical formula that are whole numbers.Let's analyze each option:A)
: This is not a multiple of the empirical formula
. The ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms is not the same as in the empirical formula.B)
: This is a multiple of the empirical formula
. The ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms is the same as in the empirical formula.C)
: This is not a multiple of the empirical formula
. The ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms is not the same as in the empirical formula.D)
: This is a multiple of the empirical formula
. The ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms is the same as in the empirical formula.Therefore, the possible molecular formulas for the given empirical formula
are:-
