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

CHO

B

`CH_(4)O`

C

`CH_(3)O`

D

`CH_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
% O=100-38.71-9.67=51.62.
C:H:O `=(38.71)/(12):(9.67)/(1):(51.62)/(16)=1:3:1`
