Q: What is the empirical formula of a compound with the molecular formula C6H12? (2021)
Solution:
The empirical formula is obtained by dividing the subscripts by the greatest common divisor, which is 2. Thus, C6H12 becomes C3H6.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the molecular formula given, which is C6H12.
Step 2: Look at the subscripts in the 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 2.
Step 4: Divide each subscript by the GCD. For carbon: 6 ÷ 2 = 3. For hydrogen: 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
Step 5: Write the new subscripts to get the empirical formula. This gives us C3H6.
