The molecular weight of Methyldioxirane (C₂H₄O₂) is 60.0522.

To calculate molecular weight of any compound, the first step is to know the constituent atoms and their number in that particular compound. Then calculate the total weight of each atom by multiplying its atomic weight by its number. The sum of total weight of all constituent atoms will be the molecular weight of the compound. Note that the value of atomic weight may differ slightly from different sources.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Methyldioxirane (C₂H₄O₂) Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Methyldioxirane molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Methyldioxirane molecule. Chemical formula of Methyldioxirane is C₂H₄O₂. From the chemical formula of Methyldioxirane, you can find that one molecule of Methyldioxirane has two Carbon (C) atoms, four Hydrogen (H) atoms and two 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 present in a Methyldioxirane molecule by multiplying its atomic weight by its number.

Number of Carbon atoms in Methyldioxirane: 2
Atomic weight of Carbon: 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Methyldioxirane: 12.0107 x 2 = 24.0214

Number of Hydrogen atoms in Methyldioxirane: 4
Atomic weight of Hydrogen: 1.008
Total weight of Hydrogen atoms in Methyldioxirane: 1.008 x 4 = 4.032

Number of Oxygen atoms in Methyldioxirane: 2
Atomic weight of Oxygen: 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Methyldioxirane: 15.9994 x 2 = 31.9988

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

Molecular weight of Methyldioxirane: 24.0214 (Carbon) + 4.032 (Hydrogen) + 31.9988 (Oxygen) = 60.0522

So the molecular weight of Methyldioxirane is 60.0522.
