Answer» Correct option is (D) 75 and 25 Given mass of organic compound = 120 mass of CO2(g) = 330 g mass of H2O (l) = 270 g mass of carbon =\(n_{CO_2}\)x 12 = 330/44 x 12 = 90 g % of carbon = 90/120 x 100 = 75% mass of hydrogen = \(n_{H_2O}\) x 2 = 270/18 x 2 = 30g % of hydrogen = 30/120 x 100 = 25% |
