CxHy+(x+4y)O2→xCO2+2yH2O
Given organic compound CxHy= 0.3 gm
Produced carbon dioxide (CO2) = 0.2 gm
Produced water (H2O) = 0.1 gm
Moles of CO2 =
440.2
Moles of C atom =
440.2
Mass of C atom =
440.2 12 = 0.0545
Moles of H2O =
180.1
Moles of H atoms =
180.1 2
Mass of H atoms =
180.1×2 1 = 0.0111
% of C atom =
0.30.0545 100 = 18%
