Hello Aftab

Carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds are estimated as-

A known mass of organic compound is heated in the presence of pure oxygen. The carbon dioxide and water formed are collected and weighed. The percentages of carbon and hydrogen in the compound are calculated from the masses of carbon dioxide and water. Estimation of carbon and hydrogen in an organic compound is based on their conversion to CO, and H20 respectively.

The percentage of carbon and hydrogen are calculated from the masses of C02 and H20.

Thanku i hope it helps you
