An organic compound contains 69% carbon ...

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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will first determine the mass of carbon and hydrogen in the organic compound, and then calculate the masses of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) produced during complete combustion. ### Step 1: Calculate the mass of carbon in the compound Given that the organic compound contains 69% carbon, we can find the mass of carbon in 0.20 grams of the compound. \[ \text{Mass of Carbon} = \frac{69}{100} \times 0.20 \, \text{g} = 0.138 \, \text{g} ...
