Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

(A - q,s); (B - p, s); (C - p, q, r); (D - q, r)

C : H : O = : : = 4 : 12 : 2 or 2 : 6 : 1

Empirical formula = C 2 H 6 O & molar mass = 46 g/mol

Mol formula = C 2 H 6 O

C 2 H 6 O + 3O 2 2CO 2 + 3H 2 O

1 mole 44.8 L at STP

0.25 mole (11.2 L at STP)

Mass of C in organic compound = mass of C in CO 2 = × 12 = 0.12 g

Mass of H in organic compound = Mass of H in H 2 O = × 2 = 0.02 g

∴ Mass of O in organic compound = 0.3 – (0.12 + 0.02) = 0.16 g

∴ C : H : O = : : = 0.01 : 0.02 : 0.01 = 1 : 2 : 1

∴ Empirical formula = CH 2 O, but it contains 2 O atom per molecule

∴ Molecular formula = C 2 H 4 O 2

1 mole of C 2 H 4 O 2 contains 4 N A hydrogen atoms.

C 2 H 4 O 2 + 2O 2 2CO 2 + 2H 2 O

1 mole 44.8 L

0.25 mole 11.2 L

C : H = 42.857 : 57.143

= 3 : x (given)

On solving, x = 4 ∴ molecular formula = C 3 H 4

1 mole of C 3 H 4 contains 4N A hydrogen atoms.

Empirical formula is same as molecular formula

C 3 H 4 + 4O 2 3CO 2 + 2H 2 O

>

C: H = : = : 1 = 7 : 8 Empirical formula = C 7 H 8

Mol wt. = 2 × VD = 2 × 46 = 92

Mol formula = Empirical formula = C 7 H 8

C 7 H 8 + 9O 2 7CO 2 + 4H 2 O
