Answer:
C4H6O4
Explanation:
Given composition is
C=40.687,H=5.085% ,O=54.288%
So in 100g of compound we will have c=40.687 g ,h=5.085 g ,o=54.288 g
Calculation of moles:-
Carbon- 40.687/12 = 3.39 or 3.4
Hydrogen- 5.085/1 = 5
Oxygen- 54.288/16 = 3.4
Ratio of moles of C, H, O is 3.4:5:3.4
Dividing by 3.4 we get 1:1.5:1
Multiplying by 2 we get 2:3:2
So Empirical Formula: C2H3O2
Now E.F mass is 12*2 + 3*1 + 16*2 which is 59 u
And molecular mass= 2*Vapour density = 2*59
n= M.F.M/E.F.M ie. 2*59/59 = 2
Molecular formula is n x E.F which is C4H6O4
Hope it helps.
pls mark me brainliest and give a thanks=)
