Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}. The molecular formula is obtained by the following expression shown below

\textrm{Molecular formula }= n\times \textrm{Empirical formula}

Explanation:

Given molecular mass of the compound is 176 g/mol

Given empirical formula is  C_{2}H_{4}O

Atomic mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are 12 u , 1 u and 16 u respectively.

Empirical formula mass of the compound = \left ( 2\times12+4+16 \right ) \textrm{ u} = 44 \textrm{ g/mol}

n = \displaystyle \frac{\textrm{Molecular formula mass}}{\textrm{Empirical formula mass}} \\n = \displaystyle \frac{176}{44} = 4

\textrm{Molecular formula }= n\times \textrm{Empirical formula}

Molecular formula = 4 \times C_{2}H_{4}O

Molecular formula is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}
