Question

An organic compound contains 20.0% C, 6.66% H, 47.33% N and the rest was oxygen. Its molar mass is 60 . The molecular formula of the compound is

Solution

Correct option is

 

Ratio of atoms

  

                             = 1.67 : 6.66 : 3.38 : 1.63

                             = 1 : 4 : 2 : 1

          Empirical formula 

          Molar empirical formula mass = 60 g

          Molecular formula
