Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The point at which empirical and molecular formula would be same should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The representation of atoms of a compound in simple whole number ratio is known as empirical formula.
Molecular formula or Chemical formula represents the type and number of atoms present in the molecule using atomic symbol and numerical subscripts.

Answer to Problem 157A
The empirical formula is equal to molecular formula when the ratio of molecular formula mass and empirical formula mass is equal to 1.
Explanation of Solution
The empirical formula is the simplest ratio. When the ratio of the molecular formula mass and empirical formula mass is equal to 1 then the empirical formula would be same as the molecular formula.
