Question

A certain compound contains only carbon and oxygen Analysis shows it has 36% carbon and 64% oxygen. If its molecular mass is 400 then what is the molecular formula of compound.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the atomic mass of carbon is 12, while that of oxygen is 16

given that the molicular mass of the compound is 290 and that 50% is mass of carbon and oxygen so here we can form equations :-

let the no. of carbon atoms be (x) and the no. of oxygen atoms be (y).

Explanation:

from the above data, it can be concluded
