 An organic compound containing Cand H has 92.3% of carbon. Its empirical formula is

A

CH

B

`CH_(3)`

C

`CH_(2)`

D

`CH_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Step 1: Calculate the mole ratio of C to H
` C:H=92.3/12,7.7/1=7.69:7.70`
Step:2 Divide by the lowest value obatined in step 1 C:H=1:1
