Now that you’ve done one example, let’s try another:
A compound has an empirical formula of C3H6O2. If the molar mass is approximately 296 g/mol what is the molecular formula?
Here’s the table set up initially:
The empirical mass is is 74, which is 1/4th of 296
Multiplying the empirical formula by the same factor gives C12H24O8
