Chemistry · Quantitative analysis (basic principles only): Estimation of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, halogens, sulphur and phosphorus

Which of the following statements is/are wrong?

Which of the following statements is/are wrong?

  • A. The gas displaced in Victor Meyer's method is air
  • B. The simplest formula that shows the ratio of the atoms of various elements present in the molecule is called the empirical formula
  • C. Estimation of oxygen in an organic compound is also made by Aluise's method
  • D. An organic monoacidic base B on reaction with \( H_{2} P t C l_{6} \) forms an insoluble compound \( B_{2} H_{2} P t C l_{6} \)

Step-by-step solution

Aluise's method is not a standard method for oxygen estimation; instead, the Unterzaucher (or Schütze) method is commonly used. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.
