A compound with an empirical formula of C₂H₃Br₂ has a molar mass of 373.69 g/mol. What is the molecular formula A) C₂H₃Br₂ B) CHBr C) C₆H₉Br₆ D) C₄H₆Br₂ E) C₄H₆Br₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula. The molar mass of the empirical formula is 187.85 g/mol. To get to the molar mass of 373.69 g/mol, the molecular formula must be twice the empirical formula, which is C₄H₆Br₄.
