An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of −5.20°C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.

: Naming the Alkanes
a) Write the IUPAC nomenclature of the compound below
b) Draw 4-isopropyl-2,4,5-trimethylheptane, identify the primary, secondary, tertiary, and
quaternary carbons.
c) Rank pentane, neopentane and isopentane for boiling point.
pentane:
H3C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3
neopentane:
CH3
H3C-C-CH3
isopentane:
CH3
CH3
H3C-CH2-CH-CH3
An essential part of the experimental design process is to select appropriate dependent and
independent variables.
True
False
10.00 g of Compound X with molecular formula C₂Hg are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 40.00 kg of water at 25 °C. The temperature of
the water is observed to rise by 2.604 °C. (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.)
Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25 °C.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.
