here is the question
Cyclopropane, a gas used with oxygen as a general anesthetic, is composed of 85.7% C and 14.3% H by mass. (a) If 1.56 g of cyclopropane has a volume of 1.00 L at 0.984 atm and 50.0∘C, what is the molecular formula of cyclopropane? (b) Judging from its molecular formula, would you expect cyclopropane to deviate more or less than Ar from ideal-gas behavior at moderately high pressures and room temperature? Explain. (c) Would cyclopropane effuse through a pinhole faster or more slowly than methane, CH4?
my attemb
i understand the main ingredients in this question is carbon and hydrogen and argon
i know also 1 carbon atom with 4 hydrogen atom give the compound "methane" CH4
reactions is my game but i'm a little confused here
it's not easy to determine the molecular formula of cycloprpane without knwoing the atmic mass of carbon and hydrogen
i think i can find them in the periodic table but then how to calculate the number of moles?
