Since, 3.38 g of carbon dioxide are obtained, the mass of C present in the sample of welding fuel gas is

\frac{12}{44} \times 3.38 = 0.92

g.
Since, 0.690 g of water are obtained, the mass of hydrogen present in the welding fuel gas sample is

\frac{2}{18} \times 0.690 = 0.077

g.
The percentage of C is

\frac{0.92}{0.92 + 0.077} \times 100 = 92.3

%.
The percentage of H is

\frac{0.077}{0.92 + 0.077} \times 100 = 7.7

(i) The number of moles of carbon

= \frac{92.2}{12} = 7.7

.
The number of moles of hydrogen

= \frac{7.7}{1} = 7.7

.
The mole ratio

C : H = \frac{7.7}{7.7} = 1 : 1

.
Hence, the empirical formula of the welding fuel gas is CH.

(ii) The weight of 10.0 L of gas at N.T.P is 11.6 g.
22.4 L pf gas at N.T. P will weigh

\frac{11.6}{10.0} \times 22.4 = 26 g / m o l

This is the molar mass.

(iii) Empirical formula mass is

12 + 1 = 13

.
Molecular mass is 26.
The ratio, n of the molecular mass to empirical formula mass is

\frac{26}{13} = 2

.
The molecular formula is

2 (C H) = C_{2} H_{2}
