The empirical formula of an organic comp...

The empirical formula of an organic compound is `CH_(2)O` and its molecular weight is 180. what is the molecular formula of the compound? (H=1,C=12,O=16).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the molecula formula be `(CH_(2)O)_(n)`
So its molecular weigh `=nxx(12+2+16)=30n`
`therefore 30 n=180` i.e., n=6
Thus, molecular formula of the compound is `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`.
