Respuesta :

Empirical formula is the simplest ration between atoms present in a molecule. This means that, since 9 can be divided by 3 (A3B9), the correct answer is the first option AB3. 

Answer:

[tex]AB_{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : [tex]A_{3}B_{9}[/tex]

To Find : Which represents the empirical formula for[tex]A_{3}B_{9}[/tex]?

Solution:

Definition of Empirical Formula - A formula that gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

[tex]A_{3}B_{9}[/tex]

To reduce it in simplest form

Divide the subscript numbers by 3

So, the resultant : [tex]AB_{3}[/tex]

Thus the empirical formula for [tex]A_{3}B_{9}[/tex] :

[tex]AB_{3}[/tex]
