What are the Empirical and Molecular Formulas of Benzene

Answer: 

  • Molecular formula of Benzene is C6H6.

  • Empirical formula of Benzene is CH.

The molecular formula is a depiction of the compound’s actual whole number ratio between its constituent parts.

The simplest whole number ratio between the elements that make up a chemical compound is represented by the empirical formula. In Benzene (C6H6.), the carbon-to-hydrogen atom ratio is now 1:1.
