Answer:

Molecular formula = S₂O ₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula = SO₃

Molecular formula = ?

Molecular mass = 152 g/mol

Solution:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 80 g/mol

n = 152 g/mol / 80 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2(SO₃)

Molecular formula = S₂O ₆
