Question

What is the molecular formula for C5H7 if its molar mass is 536 g/mol?

Answer 1

Answer:

(C5H7)8

Explanation:

It's empirical formula is given as; C5H7

Molar mass of carbon(C) = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen(H) = 1 g/mol

We are told that it's molar mass is 536 g/mol.

To find the molecular formula;

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Thus;

n = 536/((12 × 5) + (1 × 7))

n = 8

Thus;

Molecular formula = (C5H7)8
