MCQ
Empirical formula of a hydrocarbon containing $80\%$ carbon and $20\%$ hydrogen is
  • A
    $CH$
  • B
    $C{H_2}$
  • $C{H_3}$
  • D
    $C{H_4}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$C{H_3}$
c
(c) 

 Elements No.of moles Simple ratio
 $C = 80\%$  $80/12 = 6.66$  $1$
 $H = 20\%$  $20/1 = 20$  $3$

ence, Empirical Formula = $C{H_3}$.
