1. Find the empirical formula mass:

* The empirical formula is CH2.

* Calculate the molar mass of CH2: 12.01 g/mol (C) + 2 * 1.01 g/mol (H) = 14.03 g/mol

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

* Molar mass of compound / Empirical formula mass = 168 g/mol / 14.03 g/mol = 12

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

* CH2 * 12 = C12H24

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C12H24.
