∙ 2012-06-08 14:50:11The information about the actual molar mass is superfluous. Given any molecular formula, the corresponding empirical may be obtained by dividing all the subscripts in the molecular by the largest integer that yield an integer quotient for each subscript. In the given formula, the empirical formula is CH2.

∙ 2012-06-08 14:50:11The molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula, NO2. The compound NO2 has a molar mass of 46g/mol, so the empirical and molecular formulas are the same.
Yes, the empirical formula is the most basic ratio of the elements in a compound, while the molecular formula is the ratio in a compound. For instance C5H10O could be both the empirical and the molecular formula or the molecular formula could be C10H20O2 the molecular formula depends on the molar mass.
The formula of NO2 has a molecular weight of 46 g/mol. Your compound has a molecular weight of 92 g/mol. As you can see the molecular weight of the compound is twice that of the empirical formula. Therefore the molecular formula of your compound is:2 *(NO2) ---> N2O4
If you know the molar mass of the compound, you have to calculate the mass of the empirical formula and divide the molar mass of the compound by the mass of the empirical formula in order to find the ratio between the molecular formula and the empirical formula. Then multiply all the atoms by this ratio to find the molecular formula!
The empirical formula tells you the simplest formula for the compound. The molecular formula will be some multiple of the empirical formula, or it can be identical to the empirical formula.
The empirical formula of this compound is CH2O.
No: The molecular formula is never smaller than the empirical formula.
The molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula, NO2. The compound NO2 has a molar mass of 46g/mol, so the empirical and molecular formulas are the same.
The empirical formula for a compound whose molecular formula is P4O10 is P2O5 = phosphor pentoxide.
Empirical Formula: CCl3
Yes, the empirical formula is the most basic ratio of the elements in a compound, while the molecular formula is the ratio in a compound. For instance C5H10O could be both the empirical and the molecular formula or the molecular formula could be C10H20O2 the molecular formula depends on the molar mass.
This is the chemical formula (empirical formula) or the formula unit of this compound.
An empirical formula may or may not be the same as a molecular formula. The empirical formula of a compound shows the smallest whole-number ratio of the atoms compound. The molecular formula tells the actual number of each kind of atom present in a molecule of the compound.
