Total organic compound = 0.492 gm
Produced CO2 = 0.793 gm
∴ Moles of CO2 = 440.793
∴ Moles of C atoms = 440.793
∴ Weight of C atoms = 440.793 × 12 = 0.216 g
Produced H2O = 0.442 gm
∴ Moles of H2O = 180.442
∴ Moles of H atoms = 180.442
∴ Weight of H atoms = 180.442 × 2 = 0.05 g
∴ Weight of O atoms
= 0.492 − (0.216 + 0.05)
= 0.226 gm
% by mass of oxygen in compound
= 0.4920.226 × 100 = 46%
