Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2008
A hydrocarbon X with a molar mass of 26 consists of 92.3% carbon. What is its molecular formular
A
C2H2
B
C3H3
C
C4H4
D
C5H5
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
% of H2 = 100 - 92.3 = 7.7%
mole = 92.3/12 7.7/1
7.1/7.1 7.1/7.1
empirical formula = CH
(CH)n = 26
(12 + 1)n = 26
(13)n = 26
n = 26/13 = 2
molecular formula = C2H2
