The weight of carbon ,hydrogen and oxygen in an organic compound are i – InterviewSolution

InterviewSolution

1.	The weight of carbon ,hydrogen and oxygen in an organic compound are in the ratio 6 : 1 : 8 respectively .The molecular formula of compound may beA. `CH_2O`B. `C_3H_6O_3`C. `CH_2O_2`D. `C_2H_4O_4`
Answer» Correct Answer - A::B The ratio of weights `{:(C ,:,H,:,O) , (6 , : ,1,:,8):}` The atomic ratio `C : H : O` `(6)/(12) , (1)/(1) , (8)/(16) (("weight")/("At. Weight"))` Or `(1)/(2) : 1 : (1)/(2)` `1 : 2 : 1` `therefore` Empirical formula = `CH_(2)O` `therefore` Possible molecular formulae are `CH_(2)O(A)` and `C_(3)H_(6)O_(3) (B)`
