MCQ
$60 \,g$ of a compound on analysis gave $C = 24\,{\rm{ }}g,$ $H = 4\,{\rm{ }}g$ and $O = 32\, g$. Its Empirical formula is
  • A
    ${C_2}{H_4}{O_2}$
  • B
    ${C_2}{H_2}O$
  • C
    $C{H_2}{O_2}$
  • $C{H_2}O$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$C{H_2}O$
d
(d)

Element           No. of Moles      Simple Ratio                                

 $C = 24$

 $24/12 = 2$

    $1$

$H=4$

 $4/1 = 4$

    $ 2$

 $O = 32$

 $32/16 = 2$

     $1$

Therefore $C{H_2}O$.
