0.20 g of an organic compound forms 0.5764 g of `CO_(2)` and 0.1512 g of water on combustion. Calculate the percentage of carbon and hydrogen in the compound.

Explanation

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

### Step 1: Calculate the mass of carbon from CO₂
1. **Determine the moles of CO₂ produced**:
- The molar mass of CO₂ = 12 (C) + 16*2 (O) = 44 g/mol
- Moles of CO₂ = mass of CO₂ / molar mass of CO₂
\[
\text{Moles of CO₂} = \frac{0.5764 \text{ g}}{44 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.0131 \text{ mol}
