Question

Us

Let's say that you were asked to find the
molecular formula for a compound given its
empirical formula, CH₂O, and the compound's
molar mass.
The first step in solving such a problem is to
calculate the molar mass for the empirical
formula. What is the molar mass of CH₂O?
(C=12.01 amu, H=1.008 amu, O=16.00 amu)
[?] g/mol CH₂0
1

Answer 1

Molar mass = 30.026 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Molar mass be mm

mm of CH2O = 12.01 + 2(1.008) + 16.00

= 12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00 = 30.026 g/mol
