HEYA!!!


HERE IS YOUR ANSWER,


=> We can deduce the empirical formula of the organic compound = C4H3O2.

=> The empirical Formula mass = 4 x 12 + 3 x 1 + 2 x 16 = 83 u.

=> The molecular mass of compound can be calculated as:

=> Molecular mass = 2 x Vapour Density = 2 x 83 = 166 u.

=> n = Molecular mass / Empirical Formula

=> Mass = 166/83 = 2.

=> Molecular Formula of the compound = n(Empirical Formula) = 2(C4H3O2).

=> C8H6O4.
