Accepted Answer

Hello everyone in this questionnaire asked which compound can only be molecular formulas and not empirical formulas recall. That empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the compound and the molecular formulas are the ones that you can simplify further. So you can divide it by a number and still have a whole number ratio For a. We have c. seven age 13 And we cannot divide seven or 13 by number and still end up with the whole number. But this can only be an empirical formula. This cannot be simplified any further. And for b. c. four H. 802. And we can divide this by two And we get c. two age four oh. And since we still end up with whole numbers Before H. A. 0. 2 can be simplified further. So this is going to be our molecular formula And for c. of H. 20. And we cannot divide two or 1 by number and still get a whole number. But this is only going to be an empirical formula. And for D We have c. eight age 12 into oh two. And we can divide this by two And we get c. four H. Six N. O. And we'll still end up with the whole number. L. C. H. 12 N 202 can be simplified further. And this is gonna be our molecular formula and for E. UFC two age four oh three And we cannot divide to four or 3 by the same number and still get a whole number. This can only be the empirical formula. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful.
