A 0.4444 g of organic compound of unknown composition containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, is burned with oxygen, and produces 1.124 g of CO2 and 0.1822 g of H20. Calculate the mass of carbon, of hydrogen, and of oxygen that are contained in the organic compound. To obtain the exact answer, use the molar of C being equal to 12.01 g; the molar mass of H 1.010 g; the molar mass of O 16.00 g. In your answer, do not type in the unit gram, just type in the numbers that follow the rules of handling significant figures. Hint 1: Look up the example problem in the next, last question. Hint 2: Consider the law of mass conservation: the mass must be the same before and after a chemical reaction. The mass of carbon is g. The mass of hydrogen is g. The mass of oxygen is g.

Question
A 0.4444 g of organic compound of unknown composition containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, is burned with oxygen, and
produces 1.124 g of CO2 and 0.1822 g of H20. Calculate the mass of carbon, of hydrogen, and of oxygen that are contained in the
organic compound.
To obtain the exact answer, use the molar of C being equal to 12.01 g; the molar mass of H 1.010 g; the molar mass of O 16.00 g.
In your answer, do not type in the unit gram, just type in the numbers that follow the rules of handling significant figures.
Hint 1: Look up the example problem in the next, last question.
Hint 2: Consider the law of mass conservation: the mass must be the same before and after a chemical reaction.
The mass of carbon is
g. The mass of hydrogen is
g. The mass of
oxygen is
g.
