Question

Arenes are a special type of compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen. If 3.500 g of a specific arene with a molar mass of approximately 155 g/mol yields 11.986 g of CO2 upon combustion in a purely oxygen atmosphere, determine the a) empirical, and b) molecular formulas, for the compound.

Step 1

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. \[ \text{Moles of CO}_2 = \frac{11.986 \text{ g}}{44.01 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 0.2724 \text{ mol} \] Show more…
