Finding the molecular formula of an unknown hydrocarbon

[QUOTE="zachary570, post: 6859759, member: 733646"] Thank you both for these responses as its cleared up my confusion for this problem. I guess I need to move away from thinking of these problems as purely a math exercise and consider the physical constraints. I now see why 2 carbons with 20 hydrogrens isn't a real answer and 3 and 8 is the only real one that satisfies the equation. All the other reasonable formulas have molar masses that are either less than or greater than 44amu. [/QUOTE]
