Question

6g of organic compound contaioning oxygen is heated with graphite
and carbon monoxide formed is quantitatively converted to 8 8g of
CO2 on reaction with I2O5 Calculate %of oxygen in compound

Geetha · Accepted Answer

44 g of carbondioxide(CO2) has 32 g of oxygen so 8
8 g of  carbondioxide which is produced from 6 g of organic compound has% of oxygen = 3244 × Weight of CO2Weight of organic compound  × 100            = 3244 × 8
86  × 100                =107 %
