First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2.
Carbon = 12.0107
Hydrogen = 1.00794
Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488
Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087
Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles
moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles
The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule.
Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen.
moles C = 0.50899
moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722
We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon.
total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185
7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked.
Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen.
0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669
0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5.
Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is

Answer:
the pressure of gas is 100.0 the volume is 500.0
Explanation:
Water can't cool at a single temperature. It must start at a higher temperature, and drop to a lower temperature in order to cool. Unless we know the other temperature, there is no way to calculate the amount of thermal energy released.
Answer:
<u>uniform composition.</u>
Explanation:
A phase is a part of a system with uniform composition.
- In physics and chemistry , a phase in a physically distinctive form of matter , such as solid , liquid , gas or plasma.
- A phase matter is characterised by having relatively uniform chemical and physical properities . Phases are different from states of matter.
- The states of matter (e.g ., solid , liquid , gas ) are phases but matter can exist in different phases and yet be in the same type of matter. For example , liquid mixtures can exist in multiple phases such as oily and aqueous phase.
- some different types of phases are : solid, liquid,gas , plasma etc.
- The term phase can also sometime mean describe equilibrium in phase diagram
Ionic bonds are formed when a cation and an anion transfer electrons. The anion gains electrons from the cation to finish its shell, and is usually a nonmetal or a metalloid. A cation gives the anion its electrons to get rid of its partial shell. Cations are metals.
