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

The ratio of the mass percentages of \('C\) \(\&\) \(H'\) and \('C\) \(\&\) \(O'\) of a saturated acyclic organic compound\('X'\) are \(4 : 1\) and \(3 : 4\) respectively. Then, the moles of oxygen gas required for complete combustion of two moles of organic compound \('X\)' is

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(10\)
  3. C \(12\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C : H =4: 1\) \(C: O=3: 4\) Mass ratio \(C : H : O =12: 3: 16\) Mole ratio \(C : H : O =1: 3: 1\) Empirical formula \(= CH _{3} O\) Molecular formula \(= C _{2} H _{6} O _{2}\) (saturated acyclic organic compound)…
