An organic compound CxH(2y)Oy was burnt ...

An organic compound `C_xH_(2y)O_y` was burnt with twice the amount of oxygen needed for complete combustion to `CO_2` and `H_2O`. The hot gases when cooled to `0^@C` and 1 atm pressure, measured `2.24` litre. The water collected during cooling weighed 0.9 gm. the vapour pressure of pure water at `20^@C` is 17.5 mm Hg and is lowered by 0.104 mm when 50 gm of the organic compound is dissolved in 1000 gm of water. Give the molecular formula of the organic compound.
