Six elemental gases are composed of such exceptionally stable atoms that they almost never react with other elements. They are the gases that make up Group 0 (the rightmost column) of the periodic table: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
Temperature means, in this context, movement.
Condensation can be explained by the reduction of temperature of the system. This effect make possible the cohesion forces increases. In other words, the result is coalescence by attractive forces.
