Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The empirical formula of the given hydrocarbon has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrocarbon compounds are compounds which contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms. The combustion of hydrocarbon compounds produces large amount of heat. Combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon results in the formation of carbon dioxide and water.
(a)
Answer to Problem 101QRT
The empirical formula of given hydrocarbon is
Explanation of Solution
The mass of carbon dioxide produced is
The mass of water produced is
The molar mass of carbon dioxide is
The molar mass of water is
Use the expression to calculate number of moles.
Substitute
Therefore, the number of moles of carbon dioxide is
Consider the combustion reaction of hydrocarbon as follows.
Here,
When combustion of hydrocarbon takes place, the carbon atoms present in hydrocarbon gets converted to carbon dioxide molecule. One molecule of carbon dioxide contains one carbon atom. Therefore, the number of moles of carbon atoms present in hydrocarbon is equal to the moles of carbon dioxide.
Therefore, moles of carbon atom in hydrocarbon is
Substitute
Therefore, number of moles of water is
When the combustion of hydrocarbon takes place the hydrogen atoms present in hydrocarbon gets converted into hydrogen atoms of water molecule. One molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the number of moles of hydrogen atom present in hydrocarbon is twice the number of moles of water.
Therefore, the number of moles of hydrogen atoms is
The smallest number of moles is
Use the expression to calculate mole ratio.
Substitute
Substitute
Therefore, the empirical formula of given hydrocarbon is
