Question 5 of 10

What is the molecular formula of the compound CH₂ with molar mass = 168
g/mol?

Answer 1

C12H24

Step-by-step explanation:

The molar mass of the CH2 unit is 14 g/mole. The final molecule has multiples of CH2 so that it's molar mass is 168 g/mole.

(168 g/mole molecule)/(14 g/mole Unit) = 12 Units

12 CH2 units would make the molecualr formula: C12H24

This is more than one structure that has this formula: Cyclododecane and 1-Dodecene.
