MCQ
Determine the empirical formula of Kelvar, used in making bullet proof vests, is $70.6\%\,C, 4.2\%\,H, 11.8\%\, N$ and $13.4\%\, O$
  • A
    $C_7H_5NO_2$
  • B
    $C_7H_5N_2O$
  • C
    $C_7H_9NO$
  • $C_7H_5NO$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$C_7H_5NO$
d
Let the mass of compound be $100 \mathrm{g}$

$C=70.6 g=\frac{70.6}{12}$ moles $=5.88$ moles

$H=4.2 g=\frac{4.2}{1}$ moles $=4.2$ moles

$N=11.8 g=\frac{11.8}{14}$ moles $=0.84$ moles

$O=13.4 g=\frac{13.4}{16}$ moles $=0.84$ moles

$C: H: N: O=5.88: 4.2: 0.84: 0.84$

$C: H: N: O=7: 5: 1: 1$

Therefore, empirical formula of Kelvar is $C_{7} H_{5} N O$
