Expert Solution
Step 1

 Percentage composition of hydrogen = 10.17 %

 Percentage composition of carbon     = 89.84 %

 The boiling point of the compound    = 152 °C

Step 2

Since the composition of Carbon is 89.84 % and the composition of hydrogen is 10.17 %.

Thus its empirical formula is C9H12

Then the double bond equivalence, DBE = (9+1) - 122

                                                                 = 10 - 6

                                                                 = 4
