  • Molecular Formula Calculation: Determining the Formula of CH2 with a Molar Mass of 84g/mol
    Here's how to determine the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula CH2 and a molar mass of 84 g/mol:

    1. Find the empirical formula mass:

    * C: 12.01 g/mol

    * H: 1.01 g/mol

    * Empirical formula mass of CH2 = 12.01 + (1.01 x 2) = 14.03 g/mol

    2. Determine the ratio of molecular mass to empirical formula mass:

    * Molecular mass / Empirical formula mass = 84 g/mol / 14.03 g/mol ≈ 6

    3. Multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by the ratio:

    * CH2 x 6 = C6H12

    Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C6H12.
