Answer:
The essence including its given problem is outlined in the following segment on the context..
Explanation:
The given values are:
Moles of CO₂,
x = 0.01962
Moles of water,
Compound's mass,
= 0.4647 g
Let the compound's formula will be:
Combustion's general equation will be:
⇒
On putting the estimated values, we get
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Now,
x : y : z =
=
=
=
So that the empirical formula seems to be "C₃H₆O₂".
Neo-pentane represents the Compound A while compound B is n-pentane.
After careful consideration we can say that compounds A and B are alkanes and also isomers of pentane. In chemistry, Isomers are defined as compounds having same empirical molecular formula but different structural formulas due to varying arrangement of atoms.
Now, as per the question statement, compound A gives a single monochlorination product upon heating with the molecule of chlorine i.e. Cl2 showing that the molecule is extremely symmetric. This molecule must be neo-pentane. Refer to image 1.
Similarly, Compound B forms 3 constitutional isomers after undergoing monochlorination. This compound must be n-pentane since three are 3 different types of carbon atoms in the structure. Refer to image 2.
