Answer: An organic compound contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen, and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86.

%O= 100−(69.77+11.63)=18.60

Simple atomic ratio C:H: O=

=5.88:11.63:1.16=5:10:1

The empirical formula is C

Empirical formula mass =5×12+10×1+1×16=86. It is equal to  the molecular formula mass. Hence, the molecular formula is  the same as the empirical formula.

It does not reduce Tollens reagent. Hence, it is not an aldehyde

It forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogensulphite.

Hence, it contains a carbonyl group.

It gives a positive iodoform test.

Hence, it is a methyl ketone

On vigorous oxidation, it gives ethanoic and propanoic acid.

Hence, it is 2-pentanone.
