Problem: From the given empirical formula and molar mass, find the molecular formula of each compound.C6H7N, 186.27 g/mol

FREE Expert Solution

Given: C6H7N, 186.27 g/mol

To determine the molecular formula, we need to divide the molar mass by the empirical mass. The empirical mass is:

6 × 12.01 g/mol C = 72.06 g/mol C

7 × 1.01 g/mol H = 7.07 g/mol H

1 × 14.01 g/mol N = 14.01 g/mol N

Molar Mass = 93.14 g/mol
