you are to determine the molecular formula for a molecular compound consisting of only carbon & hydrogen. The molar mass of this compound is 42.08 g/mol.
Part D:
The empirical formula has a molar mass of 14.026 g/mol (this is called the empirical molar mass). Divide the molar mass for the total compound given above by the empirical formula molar mass.
This will give you a number for multiplying the carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms in the empirical formula.
What is the multiplication value?
