Question
Using the information from number 4, calculate the empirical and molecular formula for the scenario and then the chemical compound.
4. Smith's latest and most brilliant reseärch was on a specific type of hydrocarbon.
Smith, being quite a paranoid individual, wouldn't specify which one, but a
sample was shown to contain only carbon and hydrogen. Hydrogen contributed
7.76% of the total mass and carbon accounted for 92.24% of the total mass.
The molar mass was determined to be around 78.12 g/mol. The laboratory had
a carefully regulated air flow to prevent high-level inhalation. Smith periodically
mentioned to his wife that he suspected his lab partner, Kasey Kerr, was altering
the flow rates. Curiously, without Smith, the published research could mean
thousands of dollars for Kerr.
