0 2 An experiment was carried out to determine the relative molecular mass (Mr) of a volatile hydrocarbon X that is a liquid at room temperature. A known mass of X was vaporised at a known temperature and pressure and the volume of the gas produced was measured in a gas syringe. Data from this experiment are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Mass of X Temperature Pressure Volume 194 mg 373 K 102 kPa 72 cm3 0 2 . 1 Calculate the relative molecular mass of X. Show your working.

Analysis of a different hydrocarbon Y shows that it contains 83.7% by mass of carbon. Calculate the empirical formula of Y. Use this empirical formula and the relative molecular mass of Y (Mr = 86.0) to calculate the molecular formula of Y.
