Assuming you came upon the empirical formula by chemical analysis, the molecular formula would be a multiple of (NO2)n. The vale for n (1, 2, 3 etc) would need to be established by investigation. In this case the molecular formula is N2O4. This molecule is in equilbrium with the monomer NO2. N2O4 is the more common species at low temperatures and is the form found in the solid. NO2 is paramagnetic as it has one unpaired electron.

How are the empirical and molecular formulas for a compuond related?

An empirical formula is a brutto formula; a molecular formula explain the structure of a molecule.


What is the empirical formula for Hg2F2?

The empirical formula for Hg₂F₂ is HgF. This is because the empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.


What is the empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide?

The empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide is the same as its molecular formula - NO2. See related question below for more details on how to find empirical formulas.


Does no and no2 have the same empirical formulas?

No: The formula NO shows equal numbers of nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the compound, but the formula NO2 shows twice as many oxygen atoms as nitrogen atoms.


What molecular formulas are also an empirical formula?

Molecular formulas that are also empirical formulas include compounds like water (H2O), methane (CH4), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In these cases, the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula because the compounds consist of only one type of atom.


What do empirical formulas determine?

Empirical formulas determine the ratio of atoms of different elements within a chemical compound and can be derived by dividing the number of each element's atoms by their greatest common factor. They do not necessarily describe the full chemical makeup of a molecule. For example, benzene has the formula C6H6 but its empirical formula is simply CH because there is one hydrogen atom for every carbon atom. Glucose has the molecular formula of C6H12O6; its empirical formula is CH2O. Because the molecular formula for water, H2O, cannot be further simplified (empirical formulas have only whole numbers) H20 is also its empirical formula.


How are empirical and molecular formulas for a compound relation?

A molecular formula is identical to the empirical formula, and is based on quantity of atoms of each type in the compound.The relationship between empirical and molecular formula is that the empirical formula is the simplest formula, and the molecular can be the same as the empirical, or some multiple of it. An example might be an empirical formula of C3H8. Its molecular formula may be C3H8 , C6H16, C9H24, etc. Looking at it the other way, if the molecular formula is C6H12O6, the empirical formula would be CH2O.
