(h) Propyne is a hydrocarbon gas that is often used as a substitute for acetylene in welding, because it can safely be condensed to a liquid for transport and storage. The relative molecular mass of Propyne is 40.07 g/mol. On analysis, it is found to contain 90 % Carbon and 10% hydrogen by mass. Show how this information can be used to find the empirical and the molecular formula of the compound and state the empirical and the molecular formula of propyne.
