JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.3. Organic chemistry purification and characterization

Complete combustion of \(X\) g of an organic compound gave \(0.25\) g of \(CO_2\) and \(0.12\) g of \(H_2 O\). If the % of carbon is \(25\%\) and of hydrogen is \(4.89\%\), then \(X = \) _____ \(\times 10^{-3}\) g. (Nearest integer) (Molar mass of C, H and O are \(12, 1\) and \(16\) g mol\(^{-1}\) respectively.)

  1. A \(273\)
  2. B \(27\)
  3. C \(2730\)
  4. D \(227\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(273\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of carbon in the compound is calculated from the mass of \(CO_2\) produced: Mass of C \(= \dfrac{12}{44} \times \text{mass of } CO_2 = \dfrac{12}{44} \times 0.25 = \dfrac{3}{44}\) g Given that the percentage of carbon in the compound is \(25\%\):…
