Empirical formula of a compound is `CH_(2)O` and its vapour density is `30`. Molecular formula of the compound isA. `C_(3)H_(6)O_(3)`B. `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`C. `C_(2)H_(4)O`D. `CH_(2)O`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Empirical Formula `= CH_(2)O`
Empirical formula mass `= 12 + 12 + 16 = 30`
Mol.Mass `= 2 xx V.D. = 2 xx 30 = 60`
`n = ("Mol.mass")/(" Empirical mass") = 60/30= 2`
Molecular formula `= (" Empirical formula")_(n)`
`= (CH_(2)O)_(2) = C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`.
