The molecular formula of a compound is CH₂OH. Calculate its molecular mass in atomic mass units. Also, write down its molar mass. (atomic masses are: H = 1u, C = 12u, 0 = 16u)
Medium
Solution
Molecular Formula of Compound = CH₂OH
Molecular mass = Sum of all the atomic masses of all atoms present in one molecule of a substance
= 12 + (3x1) + 16 +1 = 32 amu.
Molar mass оf CH₂OH= 12 + (3×1) + 16+1 =32 = 32 g/mol.
