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.

Answer 1

empirical mass = (12+1= 13)
molar mass = 78
78/13 = 6; therefore,
(CH)₆ = C₆H_6/sub>

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

so that's correct?

Answer 4

yes
