Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
\((CH_{2})x = 56\)
\((12 + 2)x = 56\)
\(14x = 56\)
\(x = \frac{56}{14}\)
\(x = 4\)
Hence, the empirical formula is \((CH_{2}) \times 4\)
= \(C_{4}H_{8}\)
\((CH_{2})x = 56\)
\((12 + 2)x = 56\)
\(14x = 56\)
\(x = \frac{56}{14}\)
\(x = 4\)
Hence, the empirical formula is \((CH_{2}) \times 4\)
= \(C_{4}H_{8}\)
