0.90 g of a solid organic compound (molecular weight =90 gm) containing C,H and O was heated with oxygen corresponding to a volume of 224 mL at STP. After the combustion, the total volume of the gases was 560 mL at STP. On treatment with KOH, the volume decreased to 112 mL. Determine the molecular formula of the compound.

5 mL of a gas containing C and H was mixed with an excess of O2 (30 mL) and the mixture exploded due to an electric spark. After the explosion, the volume of the mixed gases remaining was found to be 25 mL. Adding a concentrated solution of KOH, the volume further diminished to 15 mL, with the residual gas being pure oxygen. All volumes have been reduced to NTP. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon gas.

40 mL of ammonia gas taken in an eudiometer tube was subjected to sparks till the volume did not change any further. It was observed that the volume increased by 40 mL. 40 mL of oxygen was then mixed and the mixture was further exploded. The gases remained accounted to 30 mL. Deduce the formula of ammonia.
