An organic compound has the empirical formula ch2. if the molar mass of the compound is 224.43 g/mol, what is the molecular formula of the compound?

Calculate the mass of the empirical formula

C = 12

H=1

CH2 = 12+2 = 14

divide the molar mass by the mass of the empirical formula

224.43/14 = 16

then the molecular formula will be 16 times the empirical formula

(CH2) 16

or

C16 H32
