The empirical formula of an organic liquid hydrocarbon is XY. If the relative molar masses of X and Y are 72 and 6 respectively, it's vapour density is likely to be
33
66
39
78

Explanation

Empirical formula of organic liquid is XY

(Empirical formula) x n =  2 x Vapour density

 (XY) = 2 V.D

  (72 + 6)  = 2 V.D

  78 = 2 V.D

 V.D = \(\frac{78}{2}\)

 V.D = 39
