Liebig's method is used for the estimation of "Carbon and hydrogen".

Principle: A known mass of organic compound is heated in the presence of pure oxygen. The carbon dioxide and water formed are collected and weighed.

The percentages of carbon and hydrogen in the compound are calculated from the masses of carbon dioxide and water. Estimation of carbon and hydrogen in an organic compound is based on their conversion to CO and H

2

O respectively.

Option C is correct.
