44g of a sample on complete combusion given 88 gm `CO_2` and 36 gm of `H_2O`. The molecular formula of the compound may be :-

A

`C_2H_6`

B

`C_2H_6O`

C

`C_2H_4O`

D

`C_3H_6O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_xH_y+((2x+y//2)/2)O_2 to xCO_2 + y//2H_2O`
`{:(44g,"88g"/44,36/18),(,2,2):}`
x=2
