1.	A gaseous hydrocarbon on combustion produces four times its volume of CO_(2) by consuming six times its volume of oxygen. What is the ratio of atoms of Hydrogen and carbon in that hydrocarbon?
Answer» SOLUTION :`C_(4)H_(8)+6O_(2)rarr4CO_(2)+4H_(2)O` Ratio of gram ATOM of H `C=(8//1)/(48//12)=(8)/(4)=2`
