PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
In an experiment, the molar mass of the compound was determined to be 118.084 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

Sagot :

Succinic acid most probably

  • C_4H_6O_4

Lets see why?

The molar mass is given as 118.084g/mol

Decimal next place i.e 10th place contains 0 means it has OH bonds in most of the cases.

So it's a hydrocarbon and more closely an alcohol or aldehyde

Let's verify

  • 4(12)+6(1)+16(4)
  • 64+48+6
  • 70+58
  • 118g/mol

Approximately equal
