The correct answer is: 2

Organic Compound containg C,H,OdissociationH7.5gram+O60gram+C48.5gram% of H in the given organic compound =7.5116×100=6.465%

(A) % of H=460×100=6.6%

(B) % of H=230×100=6.6%

(c) % of H=662×100=7.677%

(D) % of H=444×100=9.09%

The percentage of Hydrogen in the given organic compound is equal to 6.465% which is approximately equal to the percentage of hydrogen in CH3COOH and HCHO.
