my last question is how do you determine the molecular formula of a covalent compound given its formula?

1 answer

You're missing something here. You must have the molar mass, too.
CH2 is empirical formula. Molar mass is 42. CH2 is 14 (12+2), then 42/14 = 3 so there must be 3 units of CH2 or (CH2)3 = C3H6.
