1.	Empirical formula is the simplest formula of the compound which gives the atomic ratio of various elements present in one molecule of the compound. However the molecular formula ofthe compound gives the number of atoms of various elements present in one molecule of the compound. Molecular formula = (Empirical formula) xxn Which pair of species have same percentage composition of carbon?
Answer» HF `H_(2)F_(2)` `H_(3)F_(3)` `H_(4)F_(4)` Solution :M.wt = M `((10)/(M))` = MOLES = `(5.6)/(22.4)` `implies M=40=(HF)_(n)=nxx20impliesn=2`
