    An organic compound has an empirical formula \[C{{H}_{2}}O,\]its vapour density is 45. The molecular formula of the compound is:

    A)  \[C{{H}_{2}}O\]         

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}O\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Mol. wt.\[=2\times \]vapour density \[=2\times 45=90\] Empirical formula weight \[=12+2+16=30\] \[\therefore \] \[n=\frac{mol.\text{ }wt.}{empirical\text{ }formula\text{ }wt.}\] \[=\frac{90}{30}=3\] \[\therefore \]Molecular formula of the compound \[={{(C{{H}_{2}}O)}_{3}}\] \[={{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{3}}\]
