Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The formulas which are same as empirical formulas of the compounds are to be determined from the given molecular formula.
Concept introduction:
Empirical formula of a molecule is the smallest unit which is repeated in the molecule.
Molecular formula
Empirical formula is same with molecular formula when n is 1.
Answer to Problem 197A
Molecular formula of ethyl ether (C4H10O) and aspirin (C9H8O4) are also empirical formula.
Explanation of Solution
Molecular formula of ethyl ether (C4H10O) and aspirin (C9H8O4) are also empirical formula as these can’t be reduced further.
Molecular formula of butyl dichloride (C4H8Cl2) and glucose (C6H12O6) can be reduced further to C2H4Cl and CH2O and thus molecular formula of butyl dichloride and glucose is not empirical formula.
Molecular formula of ethyl ether (C4H10O) and aspirin (C9H8O4) are also empirical formula.
