JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

Compound \(A\) contains \(8.7\, \%\) Hydrogen, \(74\, \%\) Carbon and \(17.3\,\%\) Nitrogen. The molecular formula of the compound is .... Given : Atomic masses of \(C , H\) and \(N\) are \(12,1\) and \(14\, amu\) respectively. The molar mass of the compound \(A\) is \(162\, g\, mol ^{-1}\).

  1. A \(C _{4} H _{6} N _{2}\)
  2. B \(C _{2} H _{3} N\)
  3. C \(C _{5} H _{7} N\)
  4. D \(C _{10} H _{14} N _{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(C _{10} H _{14} N _{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C\) \(74 \,\%\) \(\frac{74}{12}=6.16\) \(\frac{6.16}{1.23}=5\) \(N\) \(17.3\, \%\) \(\frac{17.3}{14}=1.23\) \(\frac{1.23}{1.23}=1\) \(H\) \(8.7 \,\%\) \(\frac{8.7}{1}=8.7\) \(\frac{8.7}{1.23}=7\) Emperical formula \(= C _{5} NH _{7}\) Emperical weight \(=81\) Multiplying…
