If the empirical mass of the formula PQ2 is 10 and the relative molecular mass is 30, then the molecular formula will be:

  1. PQ2

  2. P3Q2

  3. P6Q3

  4. P3Q6

Answer

P3Q6

Reason

Molecular formula = empirical formula x n

n=Molecular weightEmpirical formula weight=3010=3\text{n} = \dfrac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}} \\[0.5em] = \dfrac{30}{10} = 3

Hence the molecular formula is,
= 3 x empirical formula
= 3 x PQ2 = P3Q6
