The percentage composition of a compound...

The percentage composition of a compound `C=90%` and `H=10%`. A possible formula of the compounds is

A

`C_(8)H_(10)`

B

`C_(15)H_(30)`

C

`C_(15)H_(20)`

D

`C_(15)H_(15)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C:H=90/12:10/1=3:4`
Therefore empirical formula `=C_(3)H_(4)`. Since M.F. in `n` times E.F., therefore the M.F. of the hydrocarbon `=C_(15)H_(20)`
