Answer :

(a) 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) There is no other element present in the compound.

Explanation :

(a) Now we have to determine the masses of C and H in the sample.

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.381g

Mass of H_2O=0.692g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.381 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.381=0.922g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.692 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.692=0.0769g of hydrogen will be contained.

Thus, 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) Now we have to determine the compound contain any other elements or not.

Mass carbon + Mass of hydrogen = 0.922 g + 0.0769 g = 0.999 g ≈ 1 g

This means that there is no other element present in the compound.

Educated Guess Here!

Since Br-80 does not exist, maybe that means Br-79 or Br-81 have very unequal abundances. For example, Br-79 may have 75% abundance whereas Br-81 may have 25% abundance.
