Answer to Problem 2.44AP
The mass percent of carbon and hydrogen in given compound
Explanation of Solution
The general balanced reaction for the complete combustion of an alkane is given below as,
The carbon and hydrogen are converted to water and carbon dioxide in combustion process. The mass in terms of percentage of carbon and hydrogen can be calculated using the formula as,
Substitute the values in equation (1) as,
Substitute the values in equation (2) as,
The mass percent of carbon and hydrogen in given compound
(b)
Interpretation:
The moles of
Concept introduction:
The combustion is the process of heating the compounds in the presence of oxygen. The combustion of alkanes yields carbon dioxide and water. In the process of combustion of alkanes a high amount of heat is evolved. These products are given by all kinds of alkanes generally.

Answer to Problem 2.44AP
The number of moles of
Explanation of Solution
The moles of
Substitute the values in equation (3) for carbon as,
Substitute the values in equation (3) for hydrogen as,
The simplest ratio is the ratio of atomic ratio of carbon and hydrogen by atomic ratio of carbon. It is calculated to get the number of moles of element in the compound. The simplest ratio for carbon is as follows.
The simplest ratio for hydrogen is as follows.
Thus, the number of moles of
The number of moles of
