On combustion 0.210 g of an organic compound containing C, H and O gave 0.127 g H2O and 0.307 g CO2. The percentages of hydrogen and oxygen in the given organic compound respectively are:
- 7.55, 43.85
- 6.72, 53.41
- 6.72, 39.87
- 53.41, 39.6
Answer
(2) 6.72, 53.41
Solution
Percentage of hydrogen:
\%H = 218 0.1270.210 100
= 6.72
Percentage of carbon:
\%C = 1244 0.3070.210 100
= 39.87
Percentage of oxygen (by difference):
\%O = 100 - (6.72 + 39.87)
= 53.41
H = 6.72 % and O = 53.41 %
Answer: (2)
