The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements in the compound. In C75H25, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen is 75:25, which is equal to 3:1. Thus, the empirical formula is C3H.

What is the empirical formula of a hydrocarbon containing 85.7 percent carbon and 14.3 percent hydrogen?
The molecular formula is C3H6 and the empirical formula is CH2. This compound is called propene or propylene, and it is a colorless gas.
Is the formula for methane both a molecular and an empirical formula?
Yes. The formula CH4 represents the lowest whole number ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms, so it is an empirical formula, and it is also the molecular formula for methane.
What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is CH3 and whose molar mass is 30 g mol?
C2h6
Does CO2 and SO2 have the same empirical formula?
No, Compounds with the same empirical formula have the same elements in the same ratio. SO2 and CO2 contain different elements. SO2 is a compound of sulfur and oxygen while CO2 is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
What is the empirical formula of the compound?
There is no set formula for fatty acids; they differ depending on the lipid. But in general, fatty acids are composed of a carbon skeleton, 16-18 carbons long. Each carbon is covalently bonded to a hydrogen.

Empirical formulas describe the types of atoms in a compound and their?
An empirical formula give information about the chemical composition of a compound. Example: tetracycline with the empirical formula C22H24N2O8 has the following composition: - carbon 59,44 % - oxygen 28,81 % - nitrogen 6,30 % - hydrogen 5,45 % If you're with plato the answer is ratios

What is the empirical formula of a hydrocarbon containing 85.7 percent carbon and 14.3 percent hydrogen?
The molecular formula is C3H6 and the empirical formula is CH2. This compound is called propene or propylene, and it is a colorless gas.
What does an empirical formula show?
the empirical formula of a compound tells you the proportions of the elements in the compound. with that information you can make some inferences about the identity of the compound. for example a compound with an empirical formula CH4 tells us that for every carbon atom there are four hydrogen atoms. this means that the compound is methane because no other hydrocarbon can have these roportions (try drawing the lewis structure for C2H8, which doesnt exist. you cant!)
