By which method was the molecular mass of benzene determined as 78.108?

Correct answer: C. X-ray diffraction method

  • A. Specific gravity method
  • B. Distillation method
  • C. X-ray diffraction method
  • D. both a and b

Explanation

The molecular mass of benzene (C6H6) was determined using the X-ray diffraction method. This method involves directing X-rays at a crystal and measuring the angles and intensities of the diffracted rays to determine the structure and spacing of the atoms in the crystal lattice
