    If an organic compound has \[C=40%,\] \[H=13.3%,\]\[N=46.67%\text{ },\] then the empirical formula for this compound is

    A)  \[C{{H}_{4}}N\]          

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{8}}{{N}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}N\]    

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Element C H N
    Percentage \[40.00%\] \[13.33%\] \[46.67%\]
    Relative ratio of atoms \[\frac{40}{12}\] \[=3.33\] \[\frac{13.33%}{1}\]\[=13.33\] \[\frac{46.47}{14}\] \[=3.33\]
    Simple ratio of atom \[\frac{3.33}{3.33}\] \[=1\] \[\frac{13.33}{3.33}\] \[=4\] \[\frac{3.33}{3.33}\] \[=1\]
    So, empirical formula is \[C{{H}_{4}}N\].
