finding a formula

(1/2) > >>

LittleLee88:
ok..I have to find a formula and name it from what this question tells me..I found the answer but I don't know if I did it right so I'm just checking..You have a molar mass of 92.2g/mol. 91.1% of it is carbon and 8.9% of it is hydrogen. Write the formula and name it. I got C6H8..but I don't know how to name it...Is that right? and if it is could you help me name it? Thanks!

Bakegaku:
hmmm.... what would a molecule of C6H8 look like?

Show how you got that formula.

LittleLee88:
would it be 1,2,3-hextriene?

Formula looks OK, but is not enough to name the compound.

LittleLee88:
so you can't name it then?
