4. What is the molecular formula of a substance that has an empirical formula of C2H5
and a molecular mass of 58 g/mole?
empirical formula mass: (2 x C) + (5 x 1.01)= (2 x 12.01) + (5 x 1.01) = 29.07

Molar mass = n x empirical formula mass

58 g = n x 29.07 g

H 14.36
1.01

C 7.1307

CH2 is the empirical formula, so the empirical formula mass: (1 x C) + (2

x 1.01)= (1 x 12.01) + (2 x 1.01) = 14.03

Molar mass = n x empirical formula mass

72.08 g = n x 14.03 g
n = 72.08
14.03
n= 5
therefore, the molecular formula is 5(CH2) = C5H10
