Calculate the molecular formula of the compound S

Answer 1

Answer:

hope this had helped you

Answer 2

Answer:

C4H8O2

Explanation:

empirical formula wt.= C2H4O

=12(2) + 1(4) + 16

=44

We know,

Mol. Formula =n.Empherical formu.

for 'n' we have,

Mol. wt. = n. empherical wt.

88 = n. (44)

n=88/44

Hence, n=2

Let's put n=2,

S = 2 (C2H4O)

S = C4H8O2

Hence molecular formula of S compound is C4H8O2
