Question

The ratios in empirical formulas can be changed.

True
False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

"Some molecules are unique in that the fixed ratios can be reduced. For example, the elements in C6H12O6 has a ratio is 6:12:6. If you reduce this ratio by dividing each by 6, you get the ratio 1:2:1. Written as a compound, it would be CH2O.

Compounds written in the lowest ratio is called the empirical formula."- flvs

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplified formula. In other words, it cannot be further reduced.
