A compound contains `3.2%` of oxygen. The minimum mol. Wt. of the compound isA. (a)`300`B. (b)`440`C. (c )`350`D. (d)`500`

Answer» Correct Answer - d
The compound must contain at least one oxygen atom So, a minimum of 1 g atom of oxygen will be present in
1 g molecule, i.e., 1 mole of the compound.
If M is the mol. Wt. of the compound then since 16 is the atomic mass of oxygen so minimum of `16 g` of oxygen will be present in `M g` of the compound
Thus, `%` of oxygen `=16/Mxx100`
or `3.2=(16xx100)/M`
or `M=500`
