Question
60 gnm of an organic composed on analysis is found to have C = 24 g, H = 4 g and O = 32 g.The empirical formula of compound is :
Options
A.CH2O
B.CHO
C.C2H2O
D.C2H2O2
Solution
Ratio of no. of atoms = 
= 2 : 4 : 2 = 1 : 2 : 1
Empirical formula = CH2O.
= 2 : 4 : 2 = 1 : 2 : 1Empirical formula = CH2O.
