How are molecular formula and empirical formula related to each other ?

Open in App

Solution

A compound's molecular formula is a whole-number multiple of its empirical formula.
Such that $Molecular formula = n \times Empirical formula$ where $n$ is the whole number.
and we can write it as $n = \frac{Molecular mass}{Empirical formula mass}$ .
