उत्तर
Given:
Empirical formula = XY2
Vapor density = Empirical formula weight
Molecular formula =?
Molecular weight = n(Empirical formula weight)
= 2 x V.D.
n(Empirical formula weight) = 2 x V.D.
Since Vapour density Empirical formula weight
n = 2
Molecular formula = 2(Empirical formula)
= 2(XY2)
Molecular formula = X2Y4
