Question

A gaseous hydrocarbon gives upon combustion 0.72 g of water and 3.08 g of CO2.The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is

Options

A.C2H4
B.C3H4
C.C6H5
D.C7H8

Solution


moles of = 0.04
moles of = 0.07
∴ = 0.07 :0.04
⇒ x : y = 0.07 : 0.08 ⇒ 7 : 8
Ratio of C & H is x : y
∴ C : H = 7 : 8
Therefore empirical formula of hydrocarbon should be C7H8.
