An organic compound contains \( \mathrm{C}=40 \%, \mathrm{H}=13.33 \% \) and \( \mathrm{N}=46.67 \% . \) Its emperical formula is
- A \( C_{2} H_{2} N \)
- B \( \mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{~N} \)
- C \( \mathrm{CH}_{4} \mathrm{~N} \)
- D CHN
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( \mathrm{CH}_{4} \mathrm{~N} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For the empirical formula of the given compound
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Element & Percentage & Relative number of moles & Simplest ratio of moles \\
\hline C & \( 40 \) & \( \frac{40}{12}=3.33 \) & \( \frac{3.33}{3.33}=1 \) \\
\hline H & \( 13.33 \) & \( \frac{13.33}{1}=13.33 \) & \( \frac{13.33}{3.33}=4 \) \\
\hline N & \( 46.67 \) & \( \frac{46.67}{14}=3.33 \) & \( \frac{3.33}{3.33}=1 \) \\
\hline
\end{array}
Thus, the compound has the empirical formula \( \mathrm{CH}_{4} \mathrm{~N} \).

\end{array}
Thus, the compound has the empirical formula \( \mathrm{CH}_{4} \mathrm{~N} \).
