AI Generated Solution

To find the molecular formula of the compound given its empirical formula and vapor density, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the empirical formula mass The empirical formula is \( CH_2O \). We need to calculate its molar mass. - Carbon (C) has an atomic mass of 12 g/mol. - Hydrogen (H) has an atomic mass of 1 g/mol, and there are 2 hydrogen atoms, so \( 2 \times 1 = 2 \) g/mol. - Oxygen (O) has an atomic mass of 16 g/mol. ...
