0.781 moles
Explanation:
We begin by balancing the chemical equation;
O₂ (g) + 2H₂ (g) → 2H₂O (g)
21.8 Liters = 21.8 Kgs
To find how many moles are in 28.1 Kg H₂O;
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
28.1/18
= 1.56 moles
The mole ratio between water vapor and oxygen is;
1 : 2
x : 1.56
2x = 1.56
x = 1.56 / 2
x = 0.781
0.781 moles
Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles
Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles
Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles
EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements
So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1
Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O
