The empirical formula and molecular mass of a compound are CH2O{CH}_{2}O and 180g180g respectively. The molecular formula of the compound will be

Options

  1. AC9H18O9{C}_{9}{H}_{18}{O}_{9}
  2. BCH2O{CH}_{2}O
  3. CC6H12O6{C}_{6}{H}_{12}{O}_{6}
  4. DC2H4O2{C}_{2}{H}_{4}{O}_{2}

Correct answer

C. C6H12O6{C}_{6}{H}_{12}{O}_{6}

Step-by-step solution

As we know that,& the Molar mass of Carbon=12

Molar mass of Hydrogen=1

Molar mass of Oxygen=16

Empirical formula mass =CH2O=12+2+1×16=30= {CH}_{2}O = 12 + 2 + 1 \times 16 = 30

Molecular mass =180= 180

n=MolccularMassEmpiricalformulamass=10030=6n = \dfrac{ Molccular Mass }{ Empirical formula mass } = \dfrac{100}{30} = 6

∵∵ Molecular formula =n×= n \times empirical formula

∴∴ Molecular formula =6×CH2O=C6H12O6= 6 \times {CH}_{2}O = {C}_{6}{H}_{12}{O}_{6}
