Vedclass · Answer

(C) The empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound. If two compounds have the same empirical formula,they have the same percentage composition of elements. However,the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula $(Molecular \ Formula = n 	imes Empirical \ Formula)$. Since the molecular formulas are different,the value of $n$ is different for each compound. Consequently,the molecular weights $(M = n 	imes 	ext{Empirical Formula Weight})$ will be different.

If two compounds have the same empirical formula but different molecular formulas,then their .......
