Determine the empirical and molecular formulas of the mandelic acid​

Both empirical and molecular are C₈H₈O₃.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according the attached picture, it is possible to figure out the molecular formula of the mandelic acid by counting each carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the molecule.

In such a way, we can see the presence of eight carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms and three carbon atoms; thus, the molecular formula is:

C₈H₈O₃

Furthermore, since the empirical formula is the smallest representation of the molecular formula when we are able to simplify it, we evidence no simplification is possible, consequently, the empirical formula equals the molecular one.

Best regards!

passed in september 1935, these laws are known as nuremberg laws.   they forbid jews from marrying but not directly forced them to divorce aryans. what is most noticeable is the fact that the jews were defranchised, meaning by this that they were not expected to have any civil rights, including the right to vote. the right answer is deprived of the right to vote.
