Correct Answer: 2
Solution and Explanation
| Element | Mass% | Moles% | Relative moles |
|---|---|---|---|
| H | 6.46 | 6.46 | 2 |
| O | 51.72 | 3.23 | 1 |
| C | 41.81 | 3.48 | 1 |
\(∴\) Empirical formula = \(COH_2\)
The empirical formula goes with acetic acid \(CH_3COOH\) and formaldehyde \(HCHO.\)
Thus data agrees with \(2\) formulae.

Concepts Used:
Rate of a Chemical Reaction
The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.
Consider the reaction A → B,
Rate of the reaction is given by,
Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt
Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A
[B] → concentration of product B
(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.
(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.
Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:
There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:
- Temperature
- Catalyst
- Reactant Concentration
- Chemical nature of Reactant
- Reactant Subdivision rate
