An organic compound contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Its elemental analysis gave`C,38.71%` and `H,9.67%`. The empirical formula of the compound would be `:`

A

`CHO`

B

`CH_(4)O`

C

`CH_(3)O`

D

`CH_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Atomic mass of C = 12, H = 1 and O = 16

Thus empirical formula of the compound is `CH_(3)O`.
