Chapter 8.2, Problem 4PPC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The empirical formula of the compound should be identified from the given diagram of products formed in combustion analysis compound and explain the reason for same combustion products for different compounds.

Concept introduction:

• Combustion is the process of burning of a compound; in which the compound reacts with excess of oxygen.
• Combustion of hydrocarbon produces ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.
• Empirical formula of a compound represents the smallest whole number relative ratio of elements in that compound.
