A. CH
B. CH2
C. CH3
D. CH4
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
The percentage of Carbon in the compound is (100 – 14.3)% = 85.7%
C : H
85.7/12.0 : 14.3/1.0
7.14 : 14.3
7.14/7.14 : 14.3/7.14
≊1:2
Therefore, the empirical formula is CH2.
![An organic compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the compound? [O = 16.0, C = 12.0, H = 1.0]](https://erudites.ng/wp-content/plugins/contextual-related-posts/default.png "An organic compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen.
