A compound with an empirical formula of CH2O has a molar mass of 90.08 g/mol. What is its molecular formula? Text Solution `C_2H_2O_4``C_2H_4O_6` `C_6H_(12)O_6` `C_2H_4O_8` Answer : C Solution : Molar mass of Carbon = 12. <br> Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1. <br> Molar mass of Oxygen = 16. <br> Mass of `CH_2O` = 12+2(1) +16=30. <br> Molecular weight of compound given is 180. <br> So, the molecular weight is `(180)/(30)` = 6. <br> `implies` Molecular formula of compound is `C_6H_(12)O_6`
