Doubtify – JEE Ki Taiyaari, Simple Bhasha Mein

🧪 Question: The ratio of mass percent of C and H of an organic compound (CxHyOz) is 6:1. If one molecule of the above compound contains half as much oxygen as required to burn one molecule of compound CxHy completely to CO₂ and H₂O, then what is the empirical formula of the compound? 📌 Why This Question is Important: This question combines two highly testable concepts in JEE Chemistry – combustion analysis and empirical formula derivation . You’re not only working with mass percent ratio , but also applying oxygen balancing logic in a combustion reaction. Such questions are frequently seen in organic chemistry chapters , particularly under Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry and Stoichiometry . Mastering this helps you crack more complex analysis-based questions in JEE Mains and even Advanced . 💡 Concept Used: To find the empirical formula , we first convert the mass percent ratio of C and H into moles , assuming 100 g of substance. Then we apply a stoichiometric appr...
