Answer #1

Molar mass of the compound = 108.2 g/mol

Molar mass of C2H3= 12*2+3*1= 24+3= 27 g/mol

Therefore repeating unit of C2H3= molar mass of compound/molar mass of C2H3= 108.2/27= 4

Hence molecular formula of compound= (C2H3)n=(C2H3)4= C8H12

Therefore correct option = (A)=C8H12

Your one thumbs up will help me lot. Thanks!
