Empricial formula of a hydrocarbon containing 80 % carbon and 20% hydrogen is

An organic compound containing carbon hydrogen and oxygen contains 52 .2 % carbon and 13.04 % hydrogen .Vapour density of the compound is 23 .Its molecular formula will be

A certain hydrocarbon (A) was found to contain 85.7 % carbon and 14.3 % hydrogen. This compound consumes 1 molar equivalent of hydrogen to give a saturated hydrocarbon (B) . One gram of hydrocarbon (A) just decolourised 38.05 gm of a 5 % solution (by weight) of Br_2 in C Cl_4 . Compound (A) on oxidation with concentrated KMn_4 gave compound (C) (molecular formula, C_(4) H_(8) O) and acetic acid. Compound (C) could easily be prepared by the action of acidic aqueous mercuric sulphate on 2-butyne. Determine the molecular formula of (A) and deduce the structures of (A), (B) , and (C) .
