To solve the problem, we need to determine the molecular formula of the gas given its vapor density. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the molecular formula The molecular formula of the gas is given as \( (CH)_n \). This means that the gas consists of \( n \) carbon (C) atoms and \( n \) hydrogen (H) atoms. ### Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of the gas The molar mass of one carbon atom is 12 g/mol and that of one hydrogen atom is 1 g/mol. Therefore, the molar mass of \( (CH)_n \) can be calculated as: \[ ...
