Complete combustion of \(750\, g\) of an organic compound provides \(420\, g\) of \(CO _{2}\) and \(210\, g\) of \(H _{2} O\). The percentage composition of carbon and hydrogen in organic compound is \(15.3\) and ............. respectively. (Round off to the Nearest Integer)

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(44 gm CO _{2}\), have \(12 gm\) carbon So, \(420 gm CO _{2} \Rightarrow \frac{12}{44} \times 420\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1260}{11} gm\) carbon \(\Rightarrow 114.545\) gram carbon So, \(\%\) of carbon \(=\frac{114.545}{750} \times 100\) \(=15.3 \%\)…
