Two gaseous A and B are common hydrocarbons. Chemical analyses demonstrate that in one sample of A, 9.12 g of carbon are combined with 0.766 g of hydrogen, and in one sample of B, 5.3 g of carbon are combined with 1.33 g of hydrogen, (a) Are these results consistent with the law of multiple proportions? (b) Write reasonable empirical formulas for these compounds. (C:12, g/mol H:1 g/mol)
