MCQ
Number of hydrogen atoms per molecule of a hydrocarbon A having $85.8 \%$ carbon is $...............$.(Given : Molar mass of $A =84\,g\,mol ^{-1}$ )
  • A
    $13$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $15$
  • $12$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$12$
d
Element Percentage Mole Mole ratio
$C$ $85.8$ $\frac{85.8}{12}=7.15$ $1$
$H$ $14.2$ $\frac{14.2}{1}=14.2$ $2$

Empirical formula $\left( CH _2\right)$

$14 \times n=84$

$n =6$

$\therefore$ Molecular formula $C _6 H _{12}$
