Answer» Correct Answer - A Let `%` of hydrogen is x then `%` of carbon is `6x` and `%` of Oxygen is `8x` i.e., `x+6x+8x=100 rArr x = (100)/(15)` `C 600//15% rArr 40//12 = 3.3333 rArr 1` `H 100//15% rArr 100//15 = 6.6667 rArr 2` `O 800//15% rArr 50//15 = 3.333 rArr 1` `CH_(2)O` is the empirical formula. |
