Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C _{ x } HyOz +\left( x +\frac{ y }{4}-\frac{ z }{2}\right) O _{2} \rightarrow xCO _{2}+\frac{ y }{2} H _{2} O\) \(0.3g\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad0.2g\quad\quad\quad0.1g\) \(\frac{ n _{ CO _{2}}}{ n _{ H _{2} O }}=\frac{ x }{ y / 2}=\frac{0.2 / 44}{.1 / 18}\)…
