The empirical formula for a compound is CH2Cl and its molar mass is 98.96g/mol. What is the molecular formula for the compound?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The empirical formula for a compound is CH2Cl

The molar mass is 98.96g/mol

The empirical formula mass (CH2Cl)   = 12+2 + 35.5   = 49.5g/mole

molecular formula   = (empirical formula)n

                        n     = molar mass of compound/empirical formula mass

                               =98.96/49.5   = 2

molecular formula of the compound = (CH2Cl)2

                                  = C2H4Cl2 >>>>>answer
