The molecular formula of the compound is C₃H₄.

<h3>What is the molecular formula of the compound?</h3>

The molecular formula of the compound is determined from the molecular mass of the compound.

The molecular mass of the compound is derived using the general gas equation as follows:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

Volume at STP, V₂ = (415 * 371 * 298(760 * 314)

V₂ = 192.26 mL = 0.192 L

Molar mass of gas = 22.4/0.192 * 0.315 = 36.75 g

Molecular formula is then determined from the mole ratio of the elements;

Carbon = 0.9 * 36.75/12 = 3

Hydrogen = 0.1 * 40/1 = 4

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₃H₄.

In conclusion, the molecular formula of the gas is derived from the molecular mass.

Why is the melting point of a network solid so high? How is this related to what a network solid is?
Alexxandr [17]
I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that molecules in solid are compact and are connected. It requires huge energy to move it, thus requires high temperature.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

Explain how the climate in a specific region differs during El Niño and La Niña
Alexxandr [17]
El Nino refers to the phenomenon where the East Pacific Ocean is anomalously warm. This condition produces wet weather to the western countries of south America. Under normal conditions these areas are dry. El Nino also decreases rainfall and hurricane activity in the Atlantic and Caribbean region. Severe droughts will persist when this occurs. La Nina occurs when the temperature of the pacific is cooler than normal. When is occurs The Caribben and Atlantic experiences higher than normal rainfall and the South american coast is drier.
