On complete combustion, `0. 246` g of an organic compound gave `0. 198 g//` of carbon dioxide and `0. 10 14 g` of water. Determine the percentage composition of carbon and hydrogen in the compound.

Explanation

Percentage of carbon `= (12 xx 0. 1 98 xx 100)/( 44 xx 0. 2 46) = 21 . 95 %`
Percentage of hydrogen `= ( 2 xx 0. 101 4 xx 100)/(18 xx 0. 246)= 4. 58 %`
