The elemental composition of a compound is $\displaystyle 54.2$% C, $\displaystyle 9.2$% H and $\displaystyle 36.6$% O.
If the molar mass of the compound is $\displaystyle 132 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, the molecular formula of the compound is :
[Given : The relative atomic mass of $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}: \mathrm{H}: \mathrm{O}=12: 1: 16$ ]
Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
(4)
$\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_3$
