Question

A quantity of 0.2 g of an organic compound containing C, H and O on combustion yielded 0.147 g CO2 and 0.12 g water. The percentage of oxygen in it is

Options

A.73.29%
B.78.45%
C.83.23%
D.89.50%

Solution

Mass per cent of carbon = = 20.05

Mass per cent of hydrogen = = 6.67

Hence, mass per cent of oxygen = 100 − (20.05 + 6.67) = 73.28%
