Give two examples of molecules having molecular formula same as empirical formula.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of providing two examples of molecules that have the same molecular formula and empirical formula, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Molecular Formula**: This indicates the exact number of atoms of each element in a molecule. For example, in the molecular formula C6H12O6, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. - **Empirical Formula**: This represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in a compound. For instance, the empirical formula for C6H12O6 is CH2O, which simplifies the ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen. ### Step 2: Identify Examples We need to find molecules where the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula. ...

  • PASSAGE-II : Empirical formula is the simplest formula of the compound which gives the atomic ratio of various elements present in one molecule of the compound. However, the molecular formula of the compound gives the number of atoms of various elements present in one molecule of the compound. Molacular formula = (Empirical formula) xxn implies n=("Molecular mass")/("Empirical formula mass") A compound may have same empirical and molecular formula. Both these formulae are calculated using percentage composition of constituent elements. Which of the following compounds have the same empirical formula as that of formaldehyde?

    A
    Formic acid
    B
    Glucose
    C
    Sucrose
    D
