Exercise Write the empirical formula of the following molecules b) Benzene CH_(4) c) Haphitralene C_(9)H_(8) d) Aspitin CH_(3)O_(6) Ionic compounds consist of a combination of and anions. a. The formula is usually

Let's correct the empirical formulas and address the ionic compounds question:<br /><br />b) Benzene: The empirical formula for benzene is \(C_6H_6\). The molecular formula given ($CH_{4}$) is incorrect for benzene.<br /><br />c) Haphitralene: The empirical formula for haphitralene is \(C_9H_8\). This is the same as the molecular formula given.<br /><br />d) Aspitin: The empirical formula for aspirin is \(C_9H_8O_4\). The molecular formula given ($CH_{3}O_{6}$) is incorrect for aspirin.<br /><br />Ionic compounds consist of a combination of cations and anions. The formula is usually written with the cation first, followed by the anion. For example, in sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium (Na) is the cation and chloride (Cl) is the anion.
