An organic compound contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Its elemental analysis gave C,38.71%\mathrm{C}, 38.71 \% and H,9.67%\mathrm{H}, 9.67 \%. The empirical formula of the compound would be

Options

  1. ACH3O\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{O}
  2. BCH2O\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{O}
  3. CCHO\mathrm{CHO}
  4. DCH4O\mathrm{CH}_4 \mathrm{O}

Correct answer

A. CH3O\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{O}

Step-by-step solution

 Hence, empirical formula is CH3O\text{ Hence, empirical formula is } \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{O}. \text{. }
