Answer:

See the explanation and answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. The formula gives the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual arrangement of atoms.


\mathrm{Molecular \:Formula}\quad \quad |\quad \quad \mathrm{Empirical \:Formula}


1.\:\:\:NH_4OH\quad | \quad H_5NO (Ammonium hydroxide)


2.\:\:\:Fe(OH)_3\quad |\quad FeH_3O_3 (Iron(III) hydroxide)


3.\:\:\:NH_4C_2H_3O_2\quad |\quad C_2H_7NO_2 (Ammonium acetate)


4.\:\:\:Fe(C_2H_3O_2)_3\quad |\quad C_6H_9FeO_6 (Iron(III) Acetate)

I hate chemistry but best regards!
