The Empirical formula of the given compound is CH₂O
What is Empirical formula ?
A formula giving the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of atoms.
Empirical formula mass = 12g/mol + 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol
Molecular formula mass / Empirical formula mass = 60 g/mol / 30 g/mol
= 2
Molecular formula = 2 × CH₂O = C₂H₄O₂
Empirical formula = CH₂O
Empirical formula mass = 12g/mol + 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol
Therefore, The Empirical formula of the given compound is CH₂O
