Select the correct empirical formula for each molecular formula given. Molecular formula: C_(6)H_(12)O_(6) Empirical formula: C_(6)H_(12)O_(6) C_(2)H_(4)O_(2) CH_(2)O O CHO

## Step 1: Define empirical formula### The empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in the compound.## Step 2: Determine the simplest ratio### The molecular formula is . The greatest common factor for the subscripts (6, 12, 6) is 6. Dividing each subscript by 6 gives the empirical formula.#
