### Combustion Analysis of a HydrocarbonWhen 6.130 grams of a hydrocarbon, \( C_xH_y \), were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.78 grams of \( CO_2 \) and 8.973 grams of \( H_2O \) were produced.In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found to be 86.18 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.#### Explanation of Graph (Diagram)The diagram shows a combustion analysis apparatus. The apparatus includes:- **Furnace**: Where the sample is burned in the presence of \( O_2 \).- **CO_2 Absorber**: A container that absorbs the \( CO_2 \) produced.- **H_2O Absorber**: A container that absorbs the \( H_2O \) produced.#### CalculationsTo determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula, follow these steps:1. **Find the number of moles of carbon and hydrogen**: - From the mass of \( CO_2 \): Obtain the moles of carbon. - From the mass of \( H_2O \): Obtain the moles of hydrogen.2. **Determine the simplest whole number ratio of the elements**: - Use the moles calculated in the previous step to find the ratio.3. **Calculate the empirical formula**: - Convert the ratio into the simplest whole numbers.4. **Find the molecular formula**: - Use the molar mass to find the molecular formula based on the empirical formula.#### Input FieldsEnter the elements in the order presented in the question.Environmental formula = [ ] Molecular formula = [ ]Once all fields have been filled, click on the "Check & Submit Answer" button.For more details on the process, you can click the "Show Approach" button to see the detailed steps.**Check & Submit Answer****Show Approach**
