When 2.886 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 8.842 grams of CO2 and 4.224 grams of H20 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. Enter the elements in the order presented in the question. empirical formula = molecular formula
