Chapter 2, Problem 17P
A gaseous binary compound has a vapor density that is 1.94 times that of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure. When 1.39 g of the gas is burned in an excess of oxygen, 1.21 g water is formed, removing all the hydrogen originally present.
(a) Estimate the molecular mass of the gaseous compound.
(b) How many hydrogen atoms are there in a molecule of the compound?
(c) What is the maximum possible value of the
(d) Are other values possible for the atomic mass of the second element? Use a table of atomic masses to identify the element that best fits the data.
(e) What is the molecular formula of the compound?
