. The empirical formula of an acid is CH2O2

the probable molecular formula of acid may be:

A: CH₂O

B: CH₂O₂

C: C2H₄O₂

D: C3H₆O₄

Best Answer

Explanation:

The empirical formula of the acid is CH₂O₂

Molecular formula = n(empirical formula)

Where n can be a natural number(i.e.1, 2, 3,...)

So, if n= 1, the molecular formula of acid is CH₂O₂.

Final Answer:

Hence the correct answer is B i.e. CH₂O₂.
