Which pair of species has the same percentage compostion?
A. `C_(6) H_(12)O_(6)` and `C_(12) H_(22) O_(11)`
B. `C_(6) H_(12)O_(6)` and `CH_(3) COOH`
C. `C_(2) H_(5) OH` and `CH_(3) COOH`
D. `C_(12) H_(22) O_(11)` and `HCOOH_(3)`
A. `C_(6) H_(12)O_(6)` and `C_(12) H_(22) O_(11)`
B. `C_(6) H_(12)O_(6)` and `CH_(3) COOH`
C. `C_(2) H_(5) OH` and `CH_(3) COOH`
D. `C_(12) H_(22) O_(11)` and `HCOOH_(3)`
Correct Answer – B
Compounds with different molecular formual will have the same percentage composition if they the same emprical formula. Both `C_(0) H_(12) O_(6)` and `CH_(3) CO_(2)H` have the same `EF`, i.e.,n `CH_(2)O`.
