JEE Main & Advanced AIEEE Solved Paper-2013

  • question_answer
    A gaseous hydrocarbon gives upon combustion 0.72 g. of water and 3.08 g of \[C{{O}_{2}}.\]The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is:     AIEEE Solevd Paper-2013

    A) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    B)                        \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\]    

    C)        \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]    

    D)        \[{{C}_{7}}{{H}_{8}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{C}_{x}}{{H}_{y}}+\left( x+\frac{y}{4} \right){{O}_{2}}\to xC{{O}_{2}}+\frac{y}{2}{{H}_{2}}O\] \[x:\frac{y}{2}=\frac{3.08}{44}:\frac{0.72}{18}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{2x}{y}=\frac{3.08}{44}\times \frac{18}{0.72}=\frac{7}{4}\]i.e. \[\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{8}\]
