In a combustion analysis experiment, an unknown hydrocarbon produced 16.72418 g of carbon dioxide and 3.42304 g of water. Assume all of the carbon present in the initial sample ends up in the carbon dioxide produced and that all of the hydrogen present in the original sample ends up in the water produced. What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon? chemPad Help Greek If the molar mass of the hydrocarbon was determined to be 104.152 g/mol, what is the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon? Enter your answer in the following format C4H10 for C4H10, etc.

4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?
Calcium carbonate forms carbon dioxide and calcium oxide when it is heated above 900 °C in a limekiln. When heated to 1000 °C in a laboratory, 4.31 g calcium carbonate produces 2.40 g calcium oxide and 1.90 g carbon dioxide. Outline a method similar to combustion analysis by which you could determine the empirical formula for calcium carbonate from these data. Carry out the determination.
