0.44 gm of organic compound `C_(x) H_(y)` O which occupied 224 ml at NTP and on combustion gave 0.88 gm `CO_(2)`. The ratio of X to Y in the compound 1sA. `1:1`B. `1:2`C. `1:3`D. `1:4`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
224 mL at NTP of O.C weighs = `0*44` g
`therefore` 22400 ml at NTP of O.C. weighs
= `(0*44)/(224) xx 22400 = 44 g `
Wt. of carbon 1 mol (44 g) of the O.C.
= `(12)/(44) xx 0*88 xx (44)/(0*44) = 24 `g = 2g atom of carbon .
`therefore` X = 2
As the molecular mass of the compound is 44 .
Therefore molecular formula can be `C_(2)H_(4)O`
Hence Y = 4 , `therefore X : Y = 2 : 4 = 1 : 2 `
