Answer 2

Given: The given compound is $C_6H_{18}O_3$.

To find: We have to find the empirical formula.

Solution:

To determine the empirical formula of the above compound we have to follow the below steps-

The given compound is $C_6H_{18}O_3$.

We have to take a ratio of a number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

The number of carbon is 6, hydrogen is 18 and oxygen is 3.

The ratio is as follows-

6:18:3

2:6:1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is $C_2H_6O$.
