A certain alcohol contains only three elements, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of a 20.00 gram sample of the alcohol p

The empirical formula is C₂H₆O.

We must calculate the <em>masses of C, H, and O</em> from the masses given.

<em>Mass of C</em> =38.20 g CO₂ × (12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂) = 10.424 g C

<em>Mass of H</em> = 23.48 g H₂O × (2.016 g H/18.02 g H₂O) = 2.6268 g H

<em>Mass of O</em> = Mass of compound - Mass of C - Mass of H

= (20.00 – 10.424 – 2.6268) g = 6.9487 g

Now, we must <em>convert these masses to moles</em> and <em>find their ratios</em>.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>  <u>Mass/g</u>    <u>Moles</u>    <u>Ratio</u>  <u>Integers</u>  

     C        10.424    0.8680  1.999        2

     H         2.6268  2.606    6.001        6

     O        6.9487  0.4343    1                1

The empirical formula is C₂H₆O.
