Question

A compound with an empirical formula of CH2O has a molar

mass of 60 g/mol. What is its molecular formula?

Answer 1

c2h4o2

Step-by-step explanation:

I am using my cell. This could take a bit

The Empical formula has a mass of

C 12

2H 2

O 16

total = 30

The molecular mass is given as 60 which is 2 times the empirical mass. Therefore multiply each element by 2 in the empirical formula.

You get C2H4O2
