Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the empirical formula of a compound with a molecular formula C6H12? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the molecular formula given, which is C6H12.
  • Step 2: Look at the subscripts in the molecular formula. The subscript for carbon (C) is 6 and for hydrogen (H) is 12.
  • Step 3: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the subscripts 6 and 12. The GCD is 6.
  • Step 4: Divide each subscript by the GCD. For carbon: 6 ÷ 6 = 1. For hydrogen: 12 ÷ 6 = 2.
  • Step 5: Write the empirical formula using the new subscripts. The empirical formula is C1H2, which is usually written as CH2.
