Moles of carbon in organic compound = Moles of carbon in CO?
n_c = 420 / 44 moles
Mass of carbon in organic compound = (420 / 44) * 12 = 114.54 g
Moles of hydrogen in compound = 2 * moles of H? O
n_H = 2 * (210 / 18) moles
Mass of hydrogen = 2 * (210 / 18) g = 23.33 g
% of H = (23.33 / 750) * 100 = 3.11%
