Answer:
Molecular formula = C₁₀H₂₀
Explanation:
Given data:
Empirical formula = CH₂
Molar mass = 140.27 g/mol
Molecular formula = ?
Solution:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
Now we will calculate the empirical formula mass.
CH₂ = 12 × 1 + 1× 2
CH₂ = 12 +2
CH₂ = 14
n = 140.27 / 14
n = 1
0
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 10 (CH₂)
Molecular formula = C₁₀H₂₀
