of an organic compound (only C and H) gives and on combustion. % of C and H respectively are:
- a
and
- b
and
- c
and
- d✓
and
and
🧠 Burn it, then split the products The compound has only C and H. So every atom of carbon ends up in and every atom of hydrogen ends up in . Find the mass of C and H from the products, then take their share of .
🗺️ Two clean steps Carbon from : is , of which is carbon. So Hydrogen from : is , of which is hydrogen. So
Now divide by the sample mass:
⚡ Fast check is three-quarters of , so C is straight away. Then H must be since there is nothing else.
