    An analysis of organic compound gave 74.0% C, 8.65% of H and 17.3% N. What is the empirical formula of compound?

    A) \[{{C}_{5}}{{H}_{8}}N\]

    B) \[{{C}_{10}}{{H}_{12}}N\]

    C) \[{{C}_{5}}{{H}_{7}}N\]

    D) \[{{C}_{10}}{{H}_{14}}N\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Relative number of atoms,
    For        \[C=\frac{74}{12}=6.1,\]
    For        \[H=\frac{8.65}{1}=8.65,\,\,\]
    For        \[N=\frac{17.3}{14}=1.2\]
    Simplest ratio:
    For \[C=\frac{6.1}{1.2}=5,H=\frac{8.65}{1.2}=7,\,N=\frac{1.2}{1.2}=1;\]
    Hence, empirical formula \[={{C}_{5}}{{H}_{7}}N\]
