Answer:

C₅H₁₂.

Explanation:

  • The hydrocarbon is burned in excess of oxygen to give CO₂ and H₂O.

  • <em>The no. of moles of CO₂ produced = mass/molar mass </em>= 1.53 g/44.0 g/mol = <em>0.03477 mol.</em>

<em>Which is corresponding to 0.03477 mol of C.</em>

<em />

  • <em>The no. of moles of H₂O produced = mass/molar mass</em> = 0.756 g/18.0 g/mol = <em>0.042 mol.</em>

<em>which corresponds to (0.042 x 2) = 0.084 moles of hydrogen.</em>

<em />

  • The ratio of the number of moles of hydrogen to carbon in the composition of the compound will be 0.084 / 0.03477 = 2.4 = 12/5.

  • <em>Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound under consideration is C₅H₁₂.</em>
