Question

Combustion of a hydrocarbon in a limited supply of air produces CO in addition to CO2 and H2O. When 1.12 g of a particular hydrocarbon was burned in air, 1.08 g CO, 1.70 g CO2, and 1.74 g H2O were produced. What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon? empirical formula: Calculate the mass of oxygen used in the reaction. mass: g Calculate the total mass of oxygen that would have been required for complete combustion. mass: g

Step 1

- For CO, the molar mass is approximately 28.01 g/mol. So, 1.08 g CO is about 0.0385 mol. - For CO2, the molar mass is approximately 44.01 g/mol. So, 1.70 g CO2 is about 0.0386 mol. - For H2O, the molar mass is approximately 18.02 g/mol. So, 1.74 g H2O is about Show more…
