C would be the correct answer
x + y = 100
0.10x + 0.45 y =25
eliminate
x + y = 100
x + 4.5 y = 250
-3.5 y = -150
y = 42.85
x = 57.15

For a hydrocarbon, the combustion reactions are the following:
C + O₂ --> CO₂
H₂ + 1/2 O₂ --> H₂O
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44 g/mol while C is 12 g/mol. Let's solve for amount of C in hydrocarbon.
Mass of C = (14.1 g CO₂)(1mol/44g)(1 mol C/1 mol CO₂)(12 g/mol) = 3.845 g C
So, that means that the mass of hydrogen is:
Mass of H = 4.4 - 3.845 = 0.555 g
Moles C = 3.845/12 = 0.32042
Moles H = 0.555/1 = 0.555
Divide both by the smaller value, 0.32042.
C: 0.32042/0.32042 = 1
H: 0.555/0.32042 = 1.732
We have to get an answer that is closest to a whole number. Let's try multiplying both with 4.
C: 1*4 = 4
H: 1.732*4 = 6.93≈7
<em>Thus, the empirical formula is C₄H₇.</em>
