What will be the molecular formula for the compound. Whose empirical formula is `CH_2CI` and molar mass is `98.96 g` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Empirical formula `=CH_2CI`
Empirical formula mass `=12.01+2xx1.008+35.453`
`=49.48 g`
`n=("Molecular mass")/("empirical formula mass")`
`=(98.96 g)/(49.48 g)=2(n)`
Molecular formula `=nxx` Empirical formula
`=2xxCH_2CI=C_2H_4CI_2`
