Question
Calculate the molecular masses of the following compounds :
Ethane, C2H6
(Atomic masses : C = 12 u ; H = 1 u)
Advertisements
Solution
Given:
Atomic mass of C = 12 u
Atomic mass of H = 1 u
Therefore, molecular mass of C2H6 (ethane) can be calculated as follows:
(2 × 12) + (6 × 1) = 30
Hence, molecular mass of ethane is 30 u.
