Determine the formula of the organic compound if its molecule contains 12 atoms of carbon. The percentage compositions of hydrogen and oxygen are 6.48 and 51.42 respectively.

संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

Element Percentage weight Atomic weight No. of moles Simple Ratio of atoms
H 6.48 1 `6.48/1` = 6.48 `48.6/3.21` = 2
O 51.42 16 `51.42/16` = 3.21 `3.21/3.21` = 1
C 42.1 12 `42.1/12` = 3.5 `3.5/3.21` = 1

The empirical formula is CH2O

Since the compound has 12 atoms of carbon, so the formula is

C12H24O12.
