On complete combustion of 0.492 g of an organic compound containing C, H and O, 0.7938 g of and 0.4428 g of was produced. The % composition of oxygen in the compound is .

Answer: 46

Solution

Calculate moles of products:
  • Moles of mol
  • Moles of mol

Calculate mass of elements in the compound:
  • Moles of C = 0.018 mol → mass = g
  • Moles of H = mol → mass = g

Mass of oxygen in compound:


Percentage of oxygen:


Nearest integer: 46
