An organic compound (A) contaning C, H, ...

An organic compound (A) contaning C, H, and O `(16.32%)` does not decolourise bromine water and does not give any precipitate with ammonical `AgNO_(3)`. It consumes 1 mol of `NH_(2)OH` per mole of (A) to give a solid derivative. The monobromo derivative of (A) shows optical activity. If (A) is optically inactive, suggest the structure.

To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the information provided about the organic compound (A) and deduce its structure. ### Step 1: Determine the empirical formula based on the percentage composition Given that the organic compound (A) contains 16.32% oxygen, we can start by assuming a 100 g sample of the compound. This means: - Mass of Oxygen = 16.32 g - Mass of Carbon and Hydrogen = 100 g - 16.32 g = 83.68 g Let’s assume the molecular formula of the compound is CxHyOz. The molar mass of oxygen (O) is 16 g/mol, so we can calculate the number of moles of oxygen: ...
