That is a molecular formula.

I can't off the top of my head think of any compound with that molecular formula, though. It's not methoxyethane or a propanol, because it's got one too few hydrogen atoms. It's not propanone or cyclopropanol or oxetane or a propenol, because it's got one too many hydrogen atoms.

How does one determine a molecular formula from the empirical form?

molar mass of unknown/molar mass of empirial = # of empirical units in the molecular formula. Example: empirical formula is CH2O with a molar mass of 30. If the molar mass of the unknown is 180, then 180/30 = 6 and molecular formula will be C6H12O6


The combustion data for an unknown compound containing carbon hydrogen and oxygen was analyzed and the empirical formula for the unknown was found to be C3H5O The molar mass of the unknown was found?

To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula (C3H5O) and molar mass, you need to calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula. Then, divide the molar mass of the unknown compound by the molar mass of the empirical formula to get a ratio. Finally, multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula (C3H5O) by this ratio to determine the molecular formula of the unknown compound.

An unknown sample with a molecular mass of 180.0g is analyzed to yield 40 percent C 6.7 percent H and 53.3 percent O What is the empirical formula and the molecular formula of this compound?

The empirical formula is CH2O. To find the molecular formula, you need to calculate the empirical formula weight (30 g/mol) and divide the molecular mass (180.0 g/mol) by the empirical formula weight to get 6. This means the molecular formula is (CH2O)6, which simplifies to C6H12O6, the molecular formula of glucose.


What is the molecular formula for the unknown C3H5O?

Empirical formula = C3H5O Molar mass of empirical formula = 3(12.01)+5(1.008)+1(16) = 57.07 Molar mass of molecular fomula = 114.15 n = Molar mass of molecular fomula/Molar mass of empirical formula = 114.15/57.07 n = 2 Molecular formula = n(empirical formula) Molecular formula = 2(C3H5O) = C6H10O2 Check: 6(12.01)+10(1.008)+2(16)= 114.14


Determine the molecular formula for the unknown if the molecular mass is 60.0 amu and the empirical formula is CH2O.?

To determine the molecular formula from the empirical formula CH2O and given molecular mass of 60.0 amu, calculate the empirical formula mass: (12.01 g/mol for C) + 2(1.01 g/mol for H) + 16.00 g/mol for O = 30.02 g/mol. Then divide the given molecular mass by the empirical formula mass to find the factor by which the empirical formula must be multiplied to get the molecular formula: 60.0 amu / 30.02 g/mol ≈ 2. Next, multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by this factor to find the molecular formula: 2(C)2(H)2(O) = C4H4O2, giving the molecular formula as C4H4O2.
