B

37.

An organic compound contains 72% carbon, 12% hydrogen and 16% oxygen by mass. The empirical formula of the compound is

A. C8H22O3

B. C6H10O3

C. C12H12O

D. C6H12O

E. C3H6O

Detailed Solution

carbon = 72%, hydrogen = 12%, 16%

Dividing by the atomic weight we have for C = \(\frac{5}{1}\) = 6

H = \(\frac{12}{1}\) = 12

O = \(\frac{16}{16}\) = 1

Divide by the smallest number, we have = \(\frac{6}{1}\) = 6

H = \(\frac{12}{1}\) = 12

O = \(\frac{1}{1}\) = 1

The formula is C6H12O
38.

0.499g 0f CuSO4.xH2O when heated to constant weight gave a residue of 0.346g. the value of x is? (Cu = 63.5, S = 32.0, O = 16, H = 1)

A. 0.5

B. 2.0

C. 3.0

D. 4.0

E. 5.0

D

39.
