Answer:
The empirical formula of the compound is CH2O, which has two numbers of atoms of hydrogen, and one atom of oxygen for each carbon.
Let’s find the mass: Molar mass of the carbon Carbon is 12
Molar mass of the hydrogen Hydrogen is 1
Molar mass of the oxygen Oxygen is 16
The mass of CH2O = 12+2*1+16 = 30.
The approximate molecular weight of the compound is 180.
So, the molecular formula of the given compound is C6H12O6.
