% of C in organic compound

$= \frac{12}{14} \times \frac{W C O_{2}}{W . O . C .} \times 100$

$= \frac{952.56}{21.648} = 44 %$

$% o f H = \frac{2}{18} \times \frac{W H_{2} O}{W . O . C .} \times 100$

= $\frac{20}{18} \times \frac{0.4428}{0.492} \times 100$ $\frac{}{} \frac{}{}$

= $\frac{88.56}{8.856} = 10 %$ $\frac{}{}$

= 100 – 54 = 46%
