120 g of an organic compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen gives 330 g of and 270 g of water on complete combustion. The percentage of carbon and hydrogen, respectively are
- A25 and 75
- B40 and 60
- C60 and 40
- D75 and 25
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Find mass of carbon from
On complete combustion, all carbon in the compound becomes .
Given:
Molar mass of g/mol, and each 44 g of contains 12 g of carbon.
So, mass of carbon is:
- Find mass of hydrogen from
All hydrogen in the compound becomes water.
Given:
Molar mass of g/mol, and each 18 g of contains 2 g of hydrogen.
So, mass of hydrogen is:
- Check total mass
This matches the given mass of the compound, so the calculation is consistent.
- Calculate percentage composition
Percentage of carbon:
Percentage of hydrogen:
- Match with options
The percentages of carbon and hydrogen respectively are:
So the correct option is D.
