Some Basic Concepts Of Chemistry Question 47

Question: Complete combustion of 0.858g of compound X gives 2.64 g of CO2 and 1.26g of H2O . The lowest molecular mass X can have:

Options:

A) 43 g

B) 86 g

C) 129 g

D) 172 g

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Moles of C=nCO2=2.6444=0.06
mass of C= 0.72 Mole of H=2×Moles of H2O= 2×1.2618=0.14 mass of H=0.14 Compound does not contains oxygen. So EFC0.06H0.14C3H17
Lowest M.M. = 43
