An organic compound made up of C, H, and...

An organic compound made up of `C, H`, and `N` contains `20%N`. The molecular mass of the organic compound is

A

`100 u`

B

`65 u`

C

`140 u`

D

`70 u`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As per the information, we can only find out the minimum molecular mass of the compound considering one `N` atom per molecule. Thus,
`%` of `N = ("Atomic mass of N")/("Minimum molecular mass of compound") xx 100%`
`20% = (14 u)/("Minimum molecular mass") xx 100%`
or Minimum molecular mass of compound `= (14 u)/(20 %) xx 100%`
`=70 u`
