Question

If a compound has a molar mass of 180 g/mol and its empirical formula is CH2O, what is its molecular formula? CH2O C2H4O2 C6H12O6 C12H22O11

Answer 1

C. C6H12O6

Step-by-step explanation:

For edge(:

Answer 2

Its molecular formula : C₆H₁₂O₆

Further explanation

The empirical formula(EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.

A molecular formula(MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.

(EF) n = MF

its empirical formula is CH₂O

CH₂O : 12+2+16=30

`\tt [30]n=180\rightarrow n=6\\\\(CH_2O]_6=C_6H_(12)O_6`
