On complete combustion 1.0 g of an organic compound (X) gave 1.46 g of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) and 0.567 g of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\). The empirical formula mass of compound \((\mathrm{X})\) is ________ g.
(Given molar mass in \(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{O}: 16\))

  1. A 30
  2. B 45
  3. C 60
  4. D 15

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 30

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moles of ' C ' \(=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{CO}_2}=\frac{1.46}{44}=0.033\) Moles of ' C ' \(=\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{C}}=0.033 \times 12\) Moles of 'H' \(=2 \times \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}=2 \times \frac{0.567}{18}=0.063\) Mass of ' H ' \(=0.0063\) Mass of Oxygen…
