Hydrogen combines with oxygen with oxygen to form `H_(2)O` in which `16 g` of oxygen combine with `2 g` of hydrogen. Hydrogen also combines with carbon to form `CH_(4)` in which `2 g` of hydrogen combine with `6 g` of carbon. If carbon and oxygen combine togather then they will do show in the ratio of

A

`6:16`

B

`6:18`

C

`1:2`

D

`12:24`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In `H_(2)O, H : O 2: 16`
In `CH_(4) , H : C 2:6`

Ratio of `H_(2)O : CH_(4) = (2:16)/(2:6) = (6)/(16) or (12)/(32)`
