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:- -
