1.	Assertion (A) : The empirical mass of ethane is half of its molecular mass. Reason (R) : The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound.
Answer» Both A and R are true and R is the correct EXPLANATION of A. A is true but R is FALSE. A is false but R is true. Both A and R are false. Solution :Themolecular formula of ethene is `C_(2)H_(4)` and its empirical formula is `CH_(2)`. Thus, MOLECULAR formula `=` Empirical formula `xx2`
