    A gaseous compound is composed of 85.7% by mass of carbon and 14.3% by mass of hydrogen. Its density is 22.8 g/L at 350 K and 1.0 atm pressure. Calculate the molecular formula of compound.

    A) \[{{C}_{5}}{{H}_{10}}\]

    B) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}\]

    C) \[{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{8}}\]

    D) \[{{C}_{8}}{{H}_{18}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[d=\frac{pM}{RT}\]
    \[M=\frac{dRT}{pM}=\frac{2.28\times 0.081\times 300}{1}=56.20\,\text{g/mol}\]
    Ratio \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{85.7}{12}:\frac{14.3}{1}=1:2\]
    Empirical formula of compound \[={{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{n}}\]
    \[n=\frac{56.20}{12+2}=4\]
    Molecular formula \[=[C{{H}_{2}}]\times 4={{C}_{4}}{{H}_{8}}\]
