Detailed Solution

Molecular Formula from Empirical Formula and Density

Empirical formula: CH2

Empirical formula mass: 14 g/mol (12 + 2 × 1)

Density at STP: 1.25 g/L

Molar volume at STP: 22.4 L/mol

Molecular mass = Density × Molar volume = 1.25 × 22.4 = 28 g/mol

Number of empirical units in molecular formula = 28 ÷ 14 = 2

Molecular formula X = (CH2)2 = C2H4
