Answer:
Without a molecular weight determination you are a shot bird..........
Explanation:
Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, all the MONOFUNCTIONAL ketones and aldehydes have a formula of CnH2nO. Here n=1, but ncould equal 2,3,4........., and generate the same empirical formula.....
TO get the molecular formula, you need a molecular weight determination. Got one?
A useful idea to develop in this context is the so-called degree of unsaturation. You have the one degree of unsaturation for this problem.
