Hi guys. I was just wondering if someone could help me out by maybe going through this example with me. My problem is to do with Chemical Formulae.
I am comfortable with the idea of n = mass (g) / Ar and have been using it to work out formula for questions such as "Calculate the formulae of the compounds which contain only the elements shown. 2.0g of hydrogen and 16.0g of oxygen" without any problem.
But, I am stuck on this one. Anyone know how I'd go about solving it?
"What is the empirical formulae of C3H6."
I know the answer is CH2, (I looked up the answer) but I have no idea how to get it.
Can anyone explain? Thanks!
