Determine the molecular formula of a compound having the empirical formula C9H17O and a molar mass of 847.56g/mol.

The molecular formula of a compound having the empirical formula C9H17O is calculated as below

(C9H17O) n = 847.56

{ (12 x9 + 1 x17 + 1 x16) }n = 847.56

147 n = 847.56

divide bot

h side by 147

n = 6

(C9H17O) 6 therefore the molecular formula = C54H102O6
