In a hydrocarbon, mass ratio of hydrogen and carbon is 1 : 3, the empirical formula of, hydrocarbon is

A

CH

B

`CH_(2)`

C

`C_(2)H`

D

`CH_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Mass of H:=1,At.mass of C=12 ,br. Mole of H:Moles of C `=1/1:3/12=1:1/4`
`therefore E.F.=CH_4`
` therefore " Empirical formula is " CH_4`
