Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound con-sisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm
Question:
Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound con-sisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298 K. Upon combusting the entire sample in oxygen, you collect a mixture of gaseous carbon dioxide and water vapor at 1.51 atm and 375 K. This mixture has a density of 1.391 g/ L and occupies a volume four times as large as that of the pure hydrocarbon. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.
Step by Step Answer:
Assuming 1000 L of the hydrocarbon C x H y then the vo...View the full answer
