Guyz can any1 of u plz help me wid this Q.
11 For complete combustion, one molecule of an organic compound needs 8 molecules of oxygen.
What could the formula of this compound be?
A C5H11OH
B C6H9OH
C C6H11OH
D C6H12
The ans is B.C6H9OH
but hw do u derive @ this.
I had thugt it wud b D. but its wrong
Need an xplanation 4 the ans
@d!_†oX!©:
okk see
its says 8 molecules of oxygen
which means a total of 16 O's in the balanced equation
now write the equation:
X + 8O2 ---> CO2 + H2O
so if we have A (C5H11OH)
then to balance for C u have to put 5 b4 CO2, which will make 10 O's so left would be 6 O's but u cannot put a 6....
hey wait...did u say u thought D as the right answer...??so which mark scheme did u check dude...the answer IS D!!!!!!
lol...just re-check man
Ghost Of Highbury:
@adi - D cant be the answer.
C6H12 + 8O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
not balanced.
C6H9OH + 8O2 --> 6CO2 + 5H2O
now its balanced. so yea just balance and check for the answer.
