The molecular formula : D) C₅H₁₀O₅
Further explanation
Given
The empirical formula CH₂O
The molar mass of 150 g/mol
Required
The molecular formula
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
(CH₂O)n = 150 g/mol
(12+2.1+16)n = 150
(30)n = 150
n = 5
