Explanation:
Let amount of organic = 100 gm
amount of carbon = 54.55 g
amount of hydrogen = 9.09 g
Amount of oxygen = 36.26 g
number of mole of carbon =
12
34.55
=4.54583
number of mole of hydrogen =
1.018
9.09
=9
number of mole of oxygen =
16
36.26
=2.26

Molecular weight = 24+4+16=44
(for empirical)
Molecular weight = 2× vapour density
=2×44=88 g
