Question

An organic compound contains $52.2\%\, C$ and $13.04\%\, H$ . Vapour density of the compound is $23$ . Its molecular formula will be

A

$C_{2}H_{6}O$

B

$C_{5}H_{10}O$

C

$C_{3}H_{8}O$

D

$C_{4}H_{8}O$

Answer

$C_{2}H_{6}O$

Explanation

Solution

Molecular weight $=2 \times$ Vapour density $=2 \times 23=46$ So, molecular formula $=C_{2}H_{6}O$
