Question

The molar mass of the compound was found to be 30.069 g/mol. what is the molecular formula? express your answer as a chemical formula.

Answer 1

C2H6

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no central carbon atom therefore you can put subscripts on both atoms.

Answer 2

For us to accurately determine what compound this is, additional info must be given. However I can suggest two compounds which have molecular mass of about 30.07 g/mol.

1. It could be NO or nitric oxide.

The molecular mass is 16 + 14= 30 g/mol

But if we search the exact weight, it is 30.01 g/mol

2. It could also be (CH3)2 or ethane.

The molecular mass is 2*12+ 6*1= 30 g/mol

But if we search the exact weight, it is 30.07 g/mol.

So we could say it more likely to to be (CH3)2
