To determine the molecular formula of the compound, we need to know the empirical formula and the molecular weight of the compound.
We can find the empirical formula by dividing the molecular weight by the empirical formula weight (we assume that the empirical formula weight is the smallest possible whole number ratio of the atoms).
Let's assume the empirical formula weight is x. Therefore, the empirical formula would be (194.19/x).
We need additional information to find the empirical formula weight. Once we have the empirical formula, we can determine the molecular formula by multiplying the empirical formula by an integer n (where n is the number of empirical formula units).
If the molecular weight of the compound is 194.19 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the compound?
