Question

what is the molecular formula of ethanol and molecular mass of ethanol ?

Answer 1

molecular formula:C2H5OH
molecular mass:46.07g/mol

Answer 2

Hey mate!!


here is your answer !!


in question user asking about the molecular formula of ethanol and also we find the molecular mass of ethanol .

now,

the molecular formula of Ethanol is C2H5OH.

and also,

the IUPAC name of C2H5OH is ethanol.


again we find the molecular mass of the ethanol .


when we find the molecular mass of the compounds.

we are adding the atomic weight of molecule which are constituents in compounds.

like , here 3 constituents

carbon , hydrogen , oxygen


in the ethanol compound number of carbon molecule is equal to 2.and the atomic mass of carbon equal to 12 .

since , 12 × 2 = 24

in the ethanol compound the total number of hydrogen molecule equal to 6
atmoic weight of hydrogen equal to 1.

since, 6×1 = 6

in the ethanol compound the number of oxygen molecule equal to 1.atmoic weight of oxygen equal to 16 .

since 16 × 1 = 16


adding all molecule weight of the compound .



24 + 6 + 16

30 + 16

46u.


therefore the Molecular mass if ethanol compound is equal to 46.
