On complete combustion, 0.246 g of an organic compound gave 0.198g of carbon dioxide and 0.1014g of water. Determine the percentage composition of carbon and hydrogen in the compound

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Wt. of organic compound `= 0.246` g
Wt. Of `CO_2` produced `=0.198` g
Wt. Of `H_2 O` produced `=0.1014 g`
Percentage of carbon `= (12)/(44) xx (0.198 xx 100)/(0.246)`
`= 20 .95%`
Percentage of hydrogen `= (2)/(18) xx (0.1014 xx 100)/(0.246)`
`= 4.58%`
