Molecular formular for C3H8O ( Isopropyl alcohol)

comprises of 3 Carbon, 8 Hydrogen and 1 oxygen ,

So, first box =3

second box = 8

third box = 1

emperical mass c3h80 =( 3*12) + (1*1) + (1*15.99) = 53.03 g/mole

Molecular formular = molecular weight / emperical mass

= 60.10g/mole /53.03g/mole = 1.133

if we multiply subscripts numbers ; we still get

Molecular formula = C3H8O

However, the second option doesnt have the option of 8 hydrogen .
