The empirical formula of an acid is `CH_(2)O_(2)`, the probable molecular formula of acid may be

A

`CH_(2)O`

B

`CH_(2)O_(2)`

C

`C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`

D

`C_(3)H_(6)O_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Empirical formula of an acid is `CH_(2)O_(2)`
(Empirical formula)n = Molecular formula
n = whole no. Multiple i..e, 1,2,3,…….
If n = 1 molecular formual `CH_(2)O_(2)`
