Determination of Molecular Mass - The molecular mass of a compound is essential to determine its molecular formula. Molecular mass of an organic compound is determined by a number of methods..

In order to determine the molecular mass of unknown non volatile compound, a known mass (say w g) of the compound is dissolved to prepare a known volume (say v liters) of solution. The osmotic pressure of the solution is determined and the molar mas..

Silver salt method is used for determining the molecular masses of carboxylic acids. This method is based on the fact that they form insoluble silver salts, which upon heating decompose to leave a residue of metallic silve..

To Determine Molecular Size - A solution of known concentration of oleic acid in alcohol is prepared. Let 1 cm 3 of oleic acid be dissolved in 500 cm 3 of alcohol to get concentration. Let n drops of this solution be poured on a water surface contained in a flat and broad vessel..

Molecular formula is the chemical formula, which represents the actual numbers of atoms of each element present in a compound..

An organic compound has the following percentage composition: C= 40%, H = 6.66%, O = 53.33%. Find its molecular formula (Relative atomic mass of C=12, H=1, O=16 and Relative molecular mass of the compound = 180..

Relative molecular mass or RMM is the molecular weight of an element or an compound. It is the number of times one molecule of the substance is heavier than 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon (C 1 2 ..

Empirical formula mass = (1 x 12 amu + 2 x 1 amu + 1 x 16 amu) = 30 amu Molecular mass = 180 amu Hence, Therefore, Molecular formulae of a compound = 6 x CH 2 O = C 6 H 1 2 O 6 9. A compound (molecular mass 147) contains 49.0 % carbon and 2.72%..
