Question

a sample of a compound contains 60gC and 5.05gH.it molar mass is 78.12g/mol what is the compound molecular formula

Answer 1

(60)/(60+5.05)=.922367 C
1-0.922367=0.07763259 H
(0.922367)(78.12)=72.05534204 C
(0.07763259)(78.12)=6.06 H
72.05534204/(12.01)=6 C
6.06/1.01=6 H
Empirical= CH
Molecular=C6H6
