We are given the number of moles:

O = 1.36 mol

H = 4.10 mol

C = 2.05 mol

 

To get the empirical formula, first divide everything by the smallest number of moles = 1.36 mol. So that:

O = 1 mol

H = 3 mol

C = 1.5 mol

 

Next step is to multiply everything by a number such that all will be a whole number. In this case, multiply by 2 to get a whole number for C, so that:

O = 2 mol

H = 6 mol

C = 3 mol

 

Therefore the empirical formula of the compound is:

C3H6O2

If you burn 10 kilograms of wood in a fire (combustion) what is the weight of the products after the fire has finished burning t
sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is: the weight of products is is equal the weight of the wood plus the weight of oxygen that was used to burn that wood, so weigh of the product is greater than 10 kilograms.

Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

In this example wood (mostly carbon) and oxygen are reactants and carbon dioxide (mostly) is product of reaction.
