Q.

An organic compound gives 0.220 g of CO2 and 0.126 g of H2O on complete combustion. If the % of carbon is 24 then the % of hydrogen is ______ ×10-1. (Nearest integer).              [2023]


Ans.

(56)

Moles of CO2=0.22044=0.005Moles of C=0.005

Moles of H2O=0.12618=0.007Moles of H=0.014

Wt. of C=0.005×12=0.06        mCmH=0.060.014=24x%

x%=5.6%=56×10-1
