A 1.0857 gram pure sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in excess oxygen gas. 3.190 g of carbon dioxide and 0.930g of water were produced. Find the empirical formula of the compound.

Answerchemical;

Answer is: hydrogen is being oxidized.chemical reaction: co₂ + h₂ → co + h₂o.oxidation half reaction: h₂ → 2h⁺ + 2e⁻.reduction half reaction: c⁺⁴ + 2e⁻ → c⁺².oxidation is increase of oxidation number, hydrogen change oxidation number from neutral charge (in molecule of hydrogen) to oxidation number +1 (in water).
