Question: [Based on McQuarrie 11-27] Diethyl ether, often called simply ether, is a common solvent that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 1.23-gram sample of ether

[Based on McQuarrie 11-27] Diethyl ether, often called simply ether, is a common solvent that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 1.23-gram sample of ether was burned and it produced CO2(g) and HO(g). The carbon dioxide is collected in a chamber with NaOH(s). The change in the mass of NaOH(s) tells you how much CO(g) was produced. The NaOH(s) chamber increased in mass by 2.92 grams. How many moles of carbon were in the sample of ether? How many grams of carbon were in the sample? a
