An organic compound contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Its chemical analysis gave C, 38.71% and H, 9.67%. The empirical formula of compound would be

A

`CH_(3)O`

B

`CH_(2)O`

C

`CHO_(2)`

D

`CHO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
% of oxygen `= 100-38.71-9.67=51.62`
`:. C:H:O = :(38.71)/(12):(9.67)/(1):(51.62)/(16)`
`=3.225:9.67:3.226=1:3:1`
`:. EF = CH_(2)O`
