Answer:

Molecular formula => C₅H₅O₅

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Empirical formula = CHO

molar mass of compound = 145 g/mol

Molecular formula =?

The molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

Molecular formula = [CHO]ₙ

[CHO]ₙ = 145

[12 + 1 + 16]n = 145

29n = 145

Divide both side by 29

n = 145 / 29

n = 5

Molecular formula = [CHO]ₙ

Molecular formula = [CHO]₅

Molecular formula => C₅H₅O₅
