    In a compound C, H and N are .present in 9 : 1 : 3.5 by weight. If molecular weight of the compound is 108, then the molecular formula. of the compound is

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}{{N}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}N\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{8}}{{N}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{9}}{{H}_{12}}{{N}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    C              H   N 9              1          3.5 9/12 = 0.75   1/1 = 1 3.5/14 = 0.25 \[\frac{0.75}{0.25}=3\] \[\frac{1}{0.25}=4\] \[\frac{0.25}{0.25}=1\] So, empirical formula \[={{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}N\]                  \[=\frac{108}{54}=2\] Molecular formula \[=({{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}{{N}_{2}})={{C}_{6}}{{H}_{8}}{{N}_{2}})\]
