Detailed Solution

● The empirical formula for benzene and acetylene is CH.
● Molecular formula of benzene is

C_{6} H_{6}

. Benzene must be divided to convert the molecular formulae into its simplest form = 6
●        Ratio of atoms- C: H = 6:6 = 1:1
●        Empirical formula of benzene = CH
●        Molecular formula of acetylene is

C_{2} H_{2}

.Acetylene must be divided to convert the molecular formulae into its simplest form = 2
● Ratio of atoms- C: H = 2:2 = 1:1
● Empirical formula of acetylene = CH.
