Acompound has a molar mass of 42.1 g/mol. it is 85.6% carbon and 14.4% hydrogen. what is the molecular formula?

To determine the molecular formula of the compound given, we first need to determine the empirical formula. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:
         mass       moles        ratio
C      85.6        7.13              1
H      14.4        14.26            2

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

CH2

To determine the molecular formula, we multiply a value to the empirical formula. Then, calculate the molar mass and see whether it is equal to the one given (42.1 g/mol).

              molar mass 
CH2          14.03
C2H4        28.06

C3H6        42.09

Most likely, the molecular formula of the compound would be C3H6.

CH2

Explanation:

it was hard to find above, so I restated it.

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary

cytokinesis is the splitting of a cell membrane to form 2 identical daughter cells. it's similar to mitosis as both cells have identical copies of dna and cytokinesis is a step in the mitotic cycle.
