Grade 11Physical Chemistry44 gram of a sample on complete combustion gives 88 gram CO2 and 36 gram of H2O. the molecular mass of the compound may be:A.C4H6B.C2H6OC.C2H4O Samarth Raval 9 Years agoGrade 11
Vikas TU9 Years agoPOAC on Carbon atom, for carbon compound CxHy,x * 44/(12x + y) = 1*88/4444x/(12x + y) = 222x = 12x + y10x = y............(1)POAC for H atom,y*(44/(12x + y)) = 2*36/18 11y = 12x + y10y = 12x5y = 6x..........(2) Thus the formuale could be => CxH10xTherefore it is possible in A option.
