The molecular weight of Ethylidene diacetate [C₆H₁₀O₄] is 146.1418 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Ethylidene diacetate [(CH₃CO₂)₂CHCH₃] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in an Ethylidene diacetate molecule.
You will know different atoms and their number in an Ethylidene diacetate molecule from the chemical formula. The chemical formula of Ethylidene diacetate is C₆H₁₀O₄. From the chemical formula of Ethylidene diacetate, you can find that one molecule of Ethylidene diacetate has six Carbon (C) atoms, ten Hydrogen (H) atoms, and four Oxygen (O) atoms.

Step 2: Find out atomic weights of each atom (from periodic table).

Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107 (Ref: Jlab-ele006)
Atomic weight of Hydrogen (H): 1.008 (Ref: Lanl-1)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

Step 3: Calculate the total weight of each atom in an Ethylidene diacetate molecule by multiplying its atomic weight by its number.

Number of Carbon atoms in Ethylidene diacetate: 6
Atomic weight of Carbon: 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Ethylidene diacetate: 12.0107 x 6 = 72.0642

Number of Hydrogen atoms in Ethylidene diacetate: 10
Atomic weight of Hydrogen: 1.008
Total weight of Hydrogen atoms in Ethylidene diacetate: 1.008 x 10 = 10.08

Number of Oxygen atoms in Ethylidene diacetate: 4
Atomic weight of Oxygen: 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Ethylidene diacetate: 15.9994 x 4 = 63.9976

Step 4: Calculate the molecular weight of Ethylidene diacetate by adding up the total weight of all atoms.

Molecular weight of Ethylidene diacetate: 72.0642 (Carbon) + 10.08 (Hydrogen) + 63.9976 (Oxygen) = 146.1418

So the molecular weight of Ethylidene diacetate is 146.1418.
