The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O.What is the corresponding molecular formula?
Added by Cynthia B.
Step 1
- Carbon (C) has a molar mass of approximately 12.01 g/mol. - Hydrogen (H) has a molar mass of approximately 1.01 g/mol. - Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of approximately 16.00 g/mol. - Therefore, the molar mass of CH2O = 12.01 + (2 × 1.01) + 16.00 = 12.01 + Show more…
