When 5.467 grams of compound z are burned in excess oxygen, 15.02 grams of co2 and 2.458 grams of h2o are produced. determine its empirical formula?

Given the mass of CO2 =15.02 g

Moles of =

Mass of H2O = 2.458 g

Moles of =

Moles of C =

Moles of H =

Mass of C in the sample =

Mass of H = =0.275 gH

Mass of O in the sample = 5.467 g - (4.095 g +0.275 g) = 1.097 g O

Moles of O =

Simplest mole ratios of the elements in the compound:

Therefore the empirical formula of the compound is

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
