(a) C₃H₆

Explanation:

Empirical formula of a compound is CH2

Weight of One mole of CH2 = 12 + 2 = 14

The ratio of C: H = 12:2 = 6:1

One mole of this compound has a mass of 42 grams.

Proportion of C in the compound = 6/7 * 42 = 36

Proportion of H in the compound = 1/7 * 42 = 6

So the compound contains 3 Carbon atoms and 6 Hydrogen atoms.

Option A is the answer.
