Complete combustion of 1.80g1 . 80g of an oxygen containing compound (CxHyOz)\left({C}_{x}{H}_{y}{O}_{z}\right) gave 2.64gofCO2and1.08gofH2O.2 . 64g of {CO}_{2} and 1 . 08g of {H}_{2}O . The percentage of oxygen in the organic compound is :

Options

  1. A53.3353 . 33
  2. B50.3350 . 33
  3. C51.6351 . 63
  4. D63.5363 . 53

Correct answer

A. 53.3353 . 33

Step-by-step solution

nCO2=2.6444=0.06{n}_{{CO}_{2}} = \dfrac{2 . 64}{44} = 0 . 06

nc=0.06{n}_{c} = 0 . 06

weight of carbon =0.06×12=0.72gm= 0 . 06 \times 12 = 0 . 72gm

nH2O=1.0818=0.06{n}_{{H}_{2}O} = \dfrac{1 . 08}{18} = 0 . 06

nH=0.06×2=0.12{n}_{H} = 0 . 06 \times 2 = 0 . 12

weight of H=0.12gmH = 0 . 12gm

=1.8−(0.72+0.12)= 1 . 8 - ( 0 . 72 + 0 . 12 )

=0.96gram= 0 . 96gram

% weight of oxygen =0.961.8×100= \dfrac{0 . 96}{1 . 8} \times 100

The percentage of oxygen in the organic compound =53.3= 53 . 3 %.
