C₆H₆  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

EF = CH

MF mass = 78.11 u

Calculations:

EF Mass = (12.01 + 1.008) u

EF Mass = 13.018 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

   n = MF Mass/EF Mass  

   n = 78.11 u/13.02 u  

   n = 6.000 ≈ 6

MF = (CH)₆

MF = C₆H₆
