Which among the following compounds possesses the same empirical formula mass and molecular mass?Select an answerA CH3COOH B C2H5OH C C4H10 D C6H8N2

The answer is C C4H10.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

An empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound, while the molecular formula represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.

1. For CH3COOH, the empirical formula is CH2O (which has a molar mass of 30 g/mol), and the molecular formula is C2H4O2 (which has a molar mass of 60 g/mol). So, the empirical formula mass and molecular mass are not the same.

2. For C2H5OH, the empirical formula is CH3O (which has a molar mass of 31 g/mol), and the molecular formula is C2H6O (which has a molar mass of 46 g/mol). So, the empirical formula mass and molecular mass are not the same.

3. For C4H10, the empirical formula is C2H5 (which has a molar mass of 29 g/mol), and the molecular formula is C4H10 (which has a molar mass of 58 g/mol). So, the empirical formula mass and molecular mass are not the same.

4. For C6H8N2, the empirical formula is C3H4N (which has a molar mass of 54 g/mol), and the molecular formula is C6H8N2 (which has a molar mass of 108 g/mol). So, the empirical formula mass and molecular mass are not the same.

Therefore, none of the given compounds have the same empirical formula mass and molecular mass.
