A CH compound is combusted to produce CO2 and H2O
CnHm + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O
Mass of CO2 = 23.1g
Mass of H2O = 10.6g
Calculate by mass of the compounds
For Carbon C, divide by molecular weight of CO2 and multiply with Carbon
molecular weight. So C in grams = 23.1 x (12.01 / 44.01) = 6.3 g C
For Hydrogen H, divide by molecular weight of H2O and multiply with Hydrogen molecular weight. So H in grams = 10.6 x (2.01 / 18.01) = 0.53 g C
= 1.18 of H
Calculate the moles for C and H
6.3 grams of C x (1 mole/12.01 g C) = 0.524 moles of C
1.18 grams of H x (1 mole/1.008 g H) = 1.17 moles of H
Divides by both mole entities with smallest
C = 0.524 / 0.524 = 1 x 4 = 4
H = 1.17 / 0.524 = 2.23 x 4 = 10
The empirical formula is C4H10.

Answer:
A chemical change occurs when the reactants chemical compositions have changed
Explanation:
a change in colour, change in temperature, change in smell, formation of a precipitate, or the formation of gas bubbles

Iron oxide is rust. So oil would be an inhibitor.
