To find the molecular formula of the organic gas with the empirical formula \( CH_2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the mass of 1 liter of nitrogen gas The molar mass of nitrogen gas (\( N_2 \)) is approximately \( 28 \, g/mol \). According to the problem, the mass of 1 liter of the organic gas is equal to the mass of 1 liter of nitrogen gas. ### Step 2: Use the Ideal Gas Law Using the Ideal Gas Law, we know that at standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters. Therefore, the mass of 1 liter of nitrogen can be calculated as follows: \[ ...
