    The empirical formula of a compound is  \[C{{H}_{2}}\]1 mole of this compound has a mass of\[42g\]. Its molecular formula is:         

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]                                   

    B)  \[C{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{8}}\]                                   

    D)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Empirical formula weight of \[C{{H}_{2}}=12+(1\times 2)\] \[=12+2\] \[=14\] Mass of 1 mole of the compound = its molecular weight \[=42\] \[n=\frac{molecular\,weight}{empirical\,formula\,weight}\] \[=\frac{42}{14}=3\] \[\therefore \] molecular formula = (empirical formula) \[\times n\]                                 \[=(C{{H}_{2}})\times 3\]                                 \[={{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}\]
