Solve Q2. Pls
Dear Student,
Molecular mass of the compound = 2 * vapour density (45)
The molecular mass of the compound = 90 grams
According to this, CHO2 is the empirical formula.
Empirical Mass = 12 + 1 + 2*16 =45 grams
Molecular formula=(Empirical Formula)2
Hence C2H2O4 - dicarboxylic acid COOH-COOH (oxalic acid)
