Question

a compound has the empirical formula given below. ch which compound represents the molecular formula with a scale factor of 6? ch₆ c₂h₂ c₆h₆

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between empirical and molecular formula

The molecular formula is \(n\times\) empirical formula, where \(n\) is the scale factor. Given the empirical formula \(CH\) (i.e., \(C_1H_1\)) and \(n = 6\).

Step2: Calculate the molecular formula

Multiply the sub - scripts in the empirical formula by \(n\). For \(C\): \(1\times6=6\), for \(H\): \(1\times6 = 6\). So the molecular formula is \(C_6H_6\).

Answer:

\(C_6H_6\)
