it is the simplest formula of a compound...like empirical formula of CH3OH is CH4O

drbabbarprashant: achaa
drbabbarprashant: let us assume that we have 100 g compound hence 42%N becomes 42g N and so O and H... then calculate their moles ..moles of N = 42/14 =3...Similarly moles of O are 48/16 =3...and of H = 1/1 = 1...THEN divide each calculated value of mole by smallest number of mole we have found like in this case moles of H are smallest ie 1...hance 3/1.....3/1......1/1...hence emperical formula comes out to be N3O3H
Anushree11: ok thnks
Anushree11: a lot
drbabbarprashant: sry H 9 g hai....it will be 9/1....9 moles of H....
drbabbarprashant: the smallest number will be 3....divide each calculated value of mole by 3...which comes out to be NOH3
drbabbarprashant: emperical formula will be NOH3
drbabbarprashant: 3/3....3/3....9/3
Anushree11: ok i understood...thnku
drbabbarprashant: wc

Glucose has a molecular formula of C6H12O6. It contains 2 moles of hydrogen for every mole of carbon and oxygen. So...The empirical formula for glucose is CH2O.

Anushree11: how to find it
SMARTGEEK: Take 2common...In every sum..We have to take common...Whc is divisible by it..
SMARTGEEK: Sry...Nt 2 ..We have to take 6common... In that.. Glucose.empirical formula...And in others formulas we have to take common whc is divisible by it
