An organic compound contains 69% carbon ...

An organic compound contains `69%` carbon and `4.8%` hydrogen, the remainder being oxygen. Calculate the masses of `CO_(2)` and water produced when `0.20g` of this substance is subjected to complete combustion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`%C=(12)/(44)xx("Mass of CO_(2)formed")/("Mass of organic compound taken")xx100`
`therefore " " "Mass of CO_(2)formed"=69xx(44)/(12)xx0.02xx(1)/(100)=0.506`
`%H=(2)/(18)xx("Mass of H_(2)Oformed")/("Mass of organic compound taken")xx100`
`therefore " " "Mass of H_(2)O formed"=4.8xx(18)/(2)xx0.02xx(1)/(100)=0.0864`
