An organic compound containing C and H has 92.3 % of carbon, its empirical formula is

A

CH

B

`CH_(2)`

C

`C_(2)H_(2)`

D

`CH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Carbon `= (92.32)/12 = 7.68`
Hydrogen `= (7.68)/1 = 7.68`
Ratio of `C: H = 1 : 1`
`therefore` Empirical formula = CH
