0.5 g of an organic compound on combustion gave 1.46 g of CO ₂ and 0.9 g of H ₂ O . The percentage of carbon in the compound is _______. (Nearest integer) [Given : Molar mass (in g mol ⁻¹ ) C : 12, H : 1 , O: 16]
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Organic CO ₂ Compound Applying POAC on ' C ' (mole) of ' C ' in compound = n _ CO ₂ 1 So mass of ' C ' in compound = 1.46 44 12 So, % of ' C ' in compound = 1.46 44 12 0.5 100 =79.63
