Question : 63
Total: 88
The Empirical formula of an organic compound is CHCl2.
If its relative molecular mass is 168 , what is its molecular formula?
[At. Wt. C=12,H=1,Cl=35.5 ]
Solution:  
Empirical formula of organic compound =CHCl2
Mass of CHCl2
‌=12+1+35.5×2
‌=84‌amu.
Relative molecular mass =168
Molecular formula = ?
Multiplication factor (n)
