Answer:

B. CH₅N

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of a compound CₐHₓNₙ with O₂ is:

CₐHₓNₙ + O₂ → a CO₂ + X/2 H₂O + n NO₂

Where 1 mole of CₐHₓNₙ with an excess of O₂ produce a moles of CO₂, X/2 moles of H₂O and n moles of NO₂

Thus, you need to convert the mass of CO₂ and H₂O to moles to find the C:H ratio and determine a possible empirical formula thus:

Moles CO₂ (Molar mass 44g/mol):

44g ₓ (1mol / 44g) = 1 mole CO₂ = 1 mole C

Mole of H₂O (Molar mass 18g/mol):

45g ₓ (1 mol / 18g) = 2.5 moles H₂O = 5 moles H

Thus, in the compound you have 5 moles of H per mole of C, and a possible empirical formula is:

B. CH₅N

The only structure that meet this C:H ratio

When matter and energy change forms within a closed system?
3241004551 [841]
Matter becomes energy. Law of thermodynamics states that matter can't be created or destroyed, but can transfer to another form. If it was closed in with the form of energy, it would be transferred to the form of energy.
