Question

If75.2% of compound is carbon and the rest of the weight is hydrogen, the formula of the compound is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

seems something is wrong

Answer 2

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

% composition of carbon =75.2

% composition of hydrogen= 24.8

atomic weight of carbon is 12 and

that of hydrogen be 1

mole of Carbon = 75.4/ 12 =6.28

mole of hydrogen= 24.8/ 1.008= 24.6

moles of hydrogen/ mole of carbon= 24.6/6.28= 4

one atom of carbon and 4 atom of H. formula is CH4
