1.	An organic compound gave 0.4655 g of CO_(2) on complete combustion. If the mass of the compound taken was 0.2115g, what is the percentage of C in it?
Answer» 0.133 0.2667 0.6003 0.288 Solution :MASS of `CO_(2)` formed=0.4655g Mass of organic COMPOUND taken=0.2115g % of `C=(12)/(44)xx("maff of "CO_(2))/("Mass of compound")XX100` `=(12)/(44)xx(0.4655)/(0.2115)xx100=60.03%`
