Question

step 3: apply the scaling factor to the empirical formula. the scale factor is 5 and the empirical formula is ch₂o. what is the molecular formula? c₅h?o enter the subscript that goes in the green box. h subscript

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the sub - script of H in the empirical formula by the scaling factor

The empirical formula is \(CH_2O\), the sub - script of \(H\) is \(2\), and the scaling factor is \(5\).
We use the formula \(n = 2\times5\)

Step2: Calculate the value

\(n=2\times5 = 10\)

Answer:

\(10\)
