Further explanation
Given
Carbon compound
Required
The same empirical formula
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
C₂H₂ and C₆H₆
Empirical formula CH
(CH)₂=C₂H₂
(CH)₆=C₆H₆
C₂H₆ and C₃H₈
C₂H₆: Empirical formula CH₃
