Q.

When 0.01 mol of an organic compound containing 60% carbon was burnt completely, 4.4 g of CO2 was produced. The molar mass of compound is ______ g mol-1 (Nearest integer).              [2023]


Ans.

(200)

Let M=Molar mass of the compound

Mass of carbon=0.01M×60100

Mole of carbon=0.01M12×60100

Mole of CO2 from combustion=4.444=mole of carbon

0.01M12×60100=4.444M=4.444×10060×120.01=200g/mol
