Determine the molecular formula of a gaseous hydrocarbon if the mass fraction of carbon in it is 80% and the mass fraction of hydrogen is 20%. The relative density of this gas for hydrogen is 15.
The molar mass of this hydrocarbon is = 30, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen is found through 80/12: 20/1 = 1: 3, only ethane is suitable for this ratio.
