Question

K. An organic compound containing
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen
contains 20 % carbon, 6.7 % hydrogen
and 46.67 % nitrogen. Its molecular
mass was found to be 60. Find the
molecular formula of the compound.
(Ans.: CHN,O)​

Answer 1

Answer:

equivalent weight = 12(1) +1(4)+14(2) + 16(1) =60g/mol

The molecular weight =60g/mole

n = molecular weight of metal/equivalent of metal =60/60 = 1

The molecular formula will be = 1× C1H4N2O = c1h4n2o

Thus the molecular formula will be C1H4N2O

and do substitute in all values
