Verified Answer :

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:

\(AB_{3}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \(A_{3}B_{9}\)

To Find : Which represents the empirical formula for\(A_{3}B_{9}\)?

Solution:

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

\(A_{3}B_{9}\)

To reduce it in simplest form

Divide the subscript numbers by 3

So, the resultant : \(AB_{3}\)

Thus the empirical formula for \(A_{3}B_{9}\) :

\(AB_{3}\)
