    An organic compound having carbon, hydrogen and sulphur contains 4% of sulphur. The minimum molecular weight of the compound is

    A) 200                                        

    B) 400

    C) 600                                        

    D) 800

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The minimum molecular weight must contain at least one S atom. \[\therefore \]%\[S=\frac{\text{weight}\,\text{of}\,\text{one}\,\text{S-atom}}{\text{minimum}\,\text{molecular}\,\text{weight}}\times 100\] or\[4=\frac{32}{\text{minimum}\,\text{molecular}\,\text{weight}}\times 100\] or minimum molecular weight\[=\frac{32}{4}\times 100=800\]
