C_{x}H_{y}+O_{2}\rightarrow xCO_{2}+yH_{2}O

\eta _{co_{2}}=\frac{88}{44}=2mole

\eta _{c}=2mole

weight of carbon W_{c}=2\times 12=24g

Mole of water \eta _{H_{2}}O=\frac{9}{18}=\frac{1}{2}

weight of water W_{1}t = \frac{1}{2}\times 2=1g

 

 


Option 1)

20 g of carbon and 5 g of hydrogen 

Option 2)

22 g of carbon and 3 g of hydrogen 

Option 3)

24 g of carbon and 1 g of hydrogen 

Option 4)

18 g of carbon and 7 g of hydrogen
