A compound with the rather imposing name 2,2'-azo-bis-isobutyrylnitrile is used to initiate the growth of some polymers, including poly (vinyl chloride). If the molecular formula is C8H12N4, how many of each type of atom are in a molecule of the compound? What is the Empirical Formula of this compound?
