    Answer:

    No, the correct empirical formula is C_3H_7.

    Explanation:

    Hello there!

    In this case, according to the given information, it turns out necessary for us to bear to mind the fact that empirical formulas must not be expressed in decimal numbers, for that reason, we need to multiply the given empirical formula by 2 to get the correct one:

    C_3H_7

    Which is now possible.

    Regards!
