Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Problem

We are given the molar mass of ascorbic acid, which is \(176.14 \, \text{g/mol}\). We need to determine the molecular formula of ascorbic acid.

Step 2: Identifying the Molecular Formula

The molecular formula of a compound is determined by the number and type of atoms in a molecule. Ascorbic acid is commonly known as Vitamin C, and its molecular formula is well-established in chemistry.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{C}_6\text{H}_8\text{O}_6} \]
