Homework help - please - chem stoichiometry

Trying to help teach DC and can do the majority of the questions. I thought I had this one but apparently not!

Which compound has the empirical formula with the greatest mass?
a. C2H6
b C4H10
c C5H10
d C6H6

(imaginary bar of chocolate or similar imaginary thank you bribe… or good deed for the day done)

thank you

Which compound has the empirical formula with the greatest mass?
a. C2H6
b C4H10
c C5H10
d C6H6

Empirical formula is basically ratio so C6H6 would be a 1:1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen

So greatest mass is b as its formula would be C2H5

That makes complete sense! Thank you Chem wizard!
