What is the empirical formula for C8H20F4

The given formula of can be written as

Explanation:

Empirical formula is one of the way of representing the structural arrangement of any molecule. With this formula, we can guess the nearest atom or element in a heterogeneous molecules. Mostly the empirical and molecular formula differs for organic compounds.

As in organic compounds consists of chain of carbon and hydrogen elements. So while arranging them in a relation, we should remember that carbon should contain 4 nearby atoms and hydrogen can share only one electron to its nearby atom. Thus, a carbon can have three hydrogen and one carbon as neighbouring element.

So the given formula of can be written as

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
