Asked by Brittney

Benzene has the empirical formula CH and an experimental molar mass of 78 g/mol. What is its molecular formula? Explain how you got your answer.
Answered by DrBob222
empirical mass = (12+1= 13)
molar mass = 78
78/13 = 6; therefore,
(CH)<sub>6</sub> = C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6/sub>

scratch that /sub>. It wasn't supposed to print.

empirical mass = (12+1= 13)
molar mass = 78
78/13 = 6; therefore,
(CH)6 = C6H6

so that's correct?
