Question

the molecular formula for acetylene is c2h2. the molecular formula for benzene is c6h6. the empirical formula for both is

Answer 1

CH

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical formula is the ratio of the elements to each other in a compound. CH means there is one hydrogen for every 1 carbon. C2H4 means there are 2 hydrogens for every 1 carbon.

Acetylene has one hydrogen for every one carbon: C1H1

Benzene also has one hydrogen for every one carbon; C1H1
