Given: The empirical formula and molecular mass of compound are CH2O and 180 g respectively.
To find: Molecular formula of the compound
Explanation: Empirical formula= CH2O
Empirical mass = Molar mass of carbon+ 2* molar mass of hydrogen+ molar mass of oxygen
=> Empirical mass = 12+ 2*1 + 16
= 30
The empirical mass is 30 g.
Molar mass = 180 g
Let Empirical formula* n = Molar mass
To calculate n:
n= Molar mass/ Empirical mass
= 180/30
= 6
Therefore,
Molecular formula= 6 * CH2O
= C6H12O6
Therefore, molecular formula of the compound is C6H12O6.
