First two properties indicate the compound is unsaturated. The third shows that the compound has =CH grouping.
`" Molecular mass "=(22400xx 1.49)/(448) =74.5`
Let the formula of the compound be `RCIC-=CH` i.e.,
`R+35.5 +25=74.5`
`R=14(CH_(2))`
The compound is `underset(CI)underset(|)CH_(2)-C-=CH`(3-Chloropropyne)
