Question:

What is the molar mass of the third member of the homologous series if the molar mass of the first member is 46 g?

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


In a homologous series, the members differ by a constant amount, often CH$_2$. The molar mass of each succeeding member increases by 14 g/mol (the molar mass of CH$_2$). Starting from 46 g for the first member, the third member has a molar mass of 74 g.
