Question

Calculate molecular mass of the compound CH2Cl2.​

Answer 1

85U molecules Mass of the compound CH2CI2

Answer 2

The molecular mass of the compound CH₂Cl₂ is 85u

• The molecular mass of a compond is determined by summing up the standard atomic masses (in u)of the constituent atoms.
• For the molecular mass of CH₂Cl₂,

        (Atomic mass of C) + (2 x Atomic mass of H) + (2 x Atomic mass of Cl)

⇒      (12) + (2 x 1) + (2 x 35.5)

⇒      85u

Hence, the molecular mass of CH₂Cl₂ is

• The molecular mass of a compound is determined by summing up the standard atomic masses (in u)of the constituent atoms.

⇒      85u

Hence, molecular mass of the compound CH₂Cl₂ is 85u.
