MCQ
Complete combustion of $0.858\;g$ of compound $X$ gives $2.63\;g$ of $C{O_2}$ and $1.28\;g$ of ${H_2}O$. The lowest molecular mass $X$ can have ............ $\mathrm{g}$
  • $43$
  • B
    $86$
  • C
    $129$
  • D
    $172$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$43$
a
(a) $\% \,C = \frac{{12}}{{44}} \times \frac{{{W_{C{O_2}}}}}{W} \times 100$

$ = \frac{{12}}{{44}} \times \frac{{2.63}}{{0.858}} \times 100 = 83.6\% $

$\% \,H = \frac{2}{{18}} \times \frac{{{W_{{H_2}O}}}}{W} \times 100$

$ = \frac{2}{{18}} \times \frac{{1.28}}{{.858}} \times 100 = 16.4\% $
