Recall that the empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
For each compound, determine the ratio of carbon (C) atoms to hydrogen (H) atoms and simplify it to the smallest whole numbers.
For example, for C2H4, divide both subscripts by 2 to get the empirical formula CH2.
Do the same for C3H6: divide both subscripts by 3 to get CH2, which matches the empirical formula of C2H4.
Compare the simplified ratios for the other pairs to see if their empirical formulas match or differ.
