    The empirical formula of a compound is \[C{{H}_{2}}O\]. Its molecular weight is 180. The molecular formula of the compound is

    A)  \[{{C}_{4}}H{{O}_{4}}\]          

    B)         \[{{C}_{5}}{{H}_{10}}{{O}_{5}}\]              

    C)         \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{3}}\]                 

    D)         \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}.\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Empirical formula of compound is \[C{{H}_{2}}O\]Empirical mass \[=12+2+16=30\] Molecular weight of compound = 180 As,  \[n=\frac{molecular\,mass}{empirical\,mass}=\frac{180}{30}=6\] Therefore, Molecular formula of compound is \[{{(C{{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}={{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\]
