हिन्दीOn complete combustion, 0.246 g of an organic compound containing only C, H, and O gave 0.198 g of \( \text{CO}_2 \) and 0.1014 g of \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \). What is the molar ratio of carbon to hydrogen (\( \text{C} : \text{H} \)) in the compound?
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
2 : 5
Explanation
Moles of \( \text{C} = \frac{0.198}{44} = 0.0045\text{ mol} \); moles of \( \text{H} = \frac{2 \times 0.1014}{18} = 0.01127\text{ mol} \). The ratio \( \text{C} : \text{H} = 0.0045 : 0.01127 \approx 1 : 2.5 = 2 : 5 \).
