Question

What is the empirical formula of a compound that has a carbon-to-hydrogen ratio of 2 to 6?

Answer 1

Answer:CH3

Explanation:-

We know that empirical formula is a simplest form of molecular formula...

So, we have given the ratio:-

C:H=2:6

If we write in the form of molecular formula it will be=C2H6

To get its simplest form we will divide it by 2 now the ratio will be

C:H=1:3

Therefore ,our empirical formula is

CH3
