Multiple Choice Options
- A C2H6N2
- B C3H4N
- C C6H8N2
- D C9H12N3
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
| Element | Weight ratio | No of atoms of element | Simplest Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | 9 | 9/12 = 3/4 | 3 |
| H | 1 | 1/1 = 1 | 4 |
| N | 3.5 | 3.5/14 = 1/4 | 1 |
Empherical Formula of the compound (EF) will be C3H4N
Now to find molecular formula at first find number of moles of given mass
No. of moles (n) =
Given mass
Molar mass
Molecular formula (MF) = n (no. of moles)
