Answer

Vapour density of hydrocarbon = 8

∴ Molecular weight = 2 x Vapour density
= 2 x 8 = 16 g

16 g of hydrocarbon at s.t.p. occupy 22.4 lit

∴ 40 g of hydrocarbon will occupy = 22.416×40=56 lit.\dfrac{22.4}{16} \times 40 = 56 \text{ lit.}

Hence, volume occupied by 40 g of a hydrocarbon (CH4) at s.t.p. is 56 lit.
