    4 g of hydrocarbon on complete combustion gave 12.571 g of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] and 5.143 g of water. What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?

    A)  \[CH\]                                 

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{2}}\]                  

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[%\,C=\frac{12}{44}\times \frac{12.571}{4.0}\times 100=85.7\] \[%H=\frac{2}{18}\times \frac{5.143}{4.0}\times 100=14.3\] The mole ratio of C to H is \[\frac{85.7}{12}:\frac{14.3}{1}\] \[=7.14:14.3=1:2=C{{H}_{2}}\]
