The empirical formula of a compound is `CH_2O_2`.
What could be its molecular formula ?

A

`C_2H_2O_2`

B

`C_2H_2O_4`

C

`C_2H_4O_4`

D

`CH_4O_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since empirical formula is multiplied by n to get molecular formula.
`CH_2O_2` will give only `C_2H_4O_4` as its molecular formula.
`(CH_2O_2)_n` where n = 1, 2, 3, …… etc.
