0.2613g of an organic compound on combustion in oxygen gave 0.8844 g of carbon dioxide and 0.1809 of water Find the % of carbon and hydrogen in the substance.

Explanation

To find the percentage of carbon and hydrogen in the organic compound, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the mass of carbon in the carbon dioxide produced.

1. The mass of carbon in carbon dioxide (CO₂) can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Mass of Carbon} = \left( \frac{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of CO₂}} \right) \times \text{Mass of CO₂} \]
