Answer:

180 amu

C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molecular mass of the compound

The sample has a mass (m) of 3.06 g and it contains (n) 0.0170 moles. The molar mass M is:

M = m/n = 3.06/0.0170 mol = 180 g/mol

Then, the molecular mass is 180 amu.

Step 2: Determine the molar mass of the empirical formula.

M(CH₂O) = 1 × M(C) + 2 × M(H) + 1 × M(O)

M(CH₂O) = 1 × 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 1 × 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol

Step 3: Determine the molecular formula

First, we will determine "n" according to the following expression.

n = molar mass molecular formula / molar mass empirical formula

n = 180 g/mol / 30 g/mol = 6

The molecular formula is:

n × CH₂O = 6 × CH₂O = C₆H₁₂O₆
