  2. B \(14\)
  3. C \(15\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Element Percentage Mole Mole ratio \(C\) \(85.8\) \(\frac{85.8}{12}=7.15\) \(1\) \(H\) \(14.2\) \(\frac{14.2}{1}=14.2\) \(2\) Empirical formula \(\left( CH _2\right)\) \(14 \times n=84\) \(n =6\) \(\therefore\) Molecular formula \(C _6 H _{12}\)
