Question
Calculate the molecular masses of the following compounds :
Ethyne, C2H2
(Atomic masses : C = 12 u ; H = 1 u)
Solution
Given:
Atomic mass of C = 12 u
Atomic mass of H = 1 u
Therefore, molecular mass of C2H2 (acetylene) can be calculated as follows:
(2 × 12) + (2 × 1) = 26
Hence, molecular mass of acetylene is 26 u.
