प्रश्न

An organic compound, whose vapour density is 45, has the following percentage composition,

H = 2.22%, O = 71.19% and remaining carbon. Calculate its molecular formula.

संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

The molecular weight of the compound = 90

Empirical formula weight of the compound = 12 + 1 + 2 x 16 = 45

n = `"Molecular weight"/"Empirical formula weight"`

= `90/45`

= 2

∴ Molecular formula of the compound = (CHO2)2

= C2H2O4

= (COOH)2
