When 0.01mol0 . 01mol of an organic compound containing 6060 % carbon was burnt completely, 4.4g4 . 4g of CO2{CO}_{2} was produced. The molar mass of compound is _____ gmol−1{gmol}^{- 1} (Nearest integer)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let Misthemolarmassofthecompound(g/mol)M is the molar mass of the compound \left(g / mol\right)
mass of compound =mole×molecularmass=0.01Mg= mole \times molecularmass = 0 . 01Mg

mass of carbon =0.01M×60100= 0 . 01M \times \dfrac{60}{100} ....(i)

moles of carbon =massofcompoundmolecularmassofcarbon=0.01M12×60100= \dfrac{massofcompound}{molecularmassofcarbon} = \dfrac{0 . 01M}{12} \times \dfrac{60}{100} ....(ii)

Thus, moles of CO2{CO}_{2} from combustion =4.444== \dfrac{4 . 4}{44} =0.1 moles of carbon dioxide

Using POAC,
Thus, from (i) and (ii),
⇒0.01M12×60100=4.444⇒ \dfrac{0 . 01M}{12} \times \dfrac{60}{100} = \dfrac{4 . 4}{44}

⇒M=4.444×10060×120.01=200g/mol⇒ M = \dfrac{4 . 4}{44} \times \dfrac{100}{60} \times \dfrac{12}{0 . 01} = 200g / mol
