Question

The compounds C2H4 and C4H8 have the same

(1) freezing point at standard pressure
(2) boiling point at standard pressure
(3) molecular formula
(4) empirical formula

Answer 1

The compounds C2H4 and C4H8 have the same empirical formula.

Answer 2

Answer : Option D) Same empirical formula.

Explanation : In the given molecules of
`C_(2) H_(4)` and
`C_(4) H_(8)` the ratio of C : H atoms in the molecule remains the same i.e 1 : 2.

It means they are in same proportions in both the molecules. Hence, it can be called as the molecules with the same empirical formula. Where empirical formula means the proportions of the elements present in a particular compound are same but differ in arrangement of atoms.
