Answer:

14g

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical formula of the compound is CH₂ ;

When we are dealing with compounds the gram formula mass or gram - molecular weight is the molar mass of the compound.

It is determined by adding the atomic masses of the components together and then expressed in grams.

Atomic mass of C = 12

Atomic mass of H = 1

Gram formula mass = 12 + 2(1) = 14g
