Question

4. An organic compound contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is found to have 32% carbon 4% hydrogen and rest oxygen. If the molecular weight of the compound is 150g, find the molecular formula of the compound.​

Answer 1

Answer:

so this is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

molecular formula of the compound is C4H6O6

Answer 2

Answer:

C3H6O6

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of mole no.s of carbon hydrogen and oxygen = (32÷12):(4÷1):(64÷16)

= 1.33:2:2

= 1:2:2

so, the empirical formula = CH2O2

now, CH2O2 =12+2+32 =46

the mole no. of the compound =150÷46=3.26=3

The molecular formula = 3×CH2O2=C3H6O6
