Multiplier (n) vs Empirical Formula Mass

How to Find the Molecular Formula

Formula

n = actual molar mass / empirical formula mass

Multiply all subscripts in the empirical formula by n to get the molecular formula.

Example Calculation

Empirical formula CH2O (30.03 g/mol), actual molar mass 180.16 g/mol.

  1. 01n = 180.16 / 30.03
  2. 02n = 6
  3. 03Molecular formula = C6H12O6 (glucose)
