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

Hydrogen gas: H2
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- An ionic bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.
In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.
- A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
For example, 
is a polar covalent compound. Partial opposite charges tend to develop on the atoms of a polar covalent compound.
- A non-polar covalent bond is formed due to equal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
For example, 
is a non-polar covalent molecule. No partial charges will be there on the atoms of a non-polar covalent molecule.
- A hydrogen bond is defined as the bond formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.
For example, in HCl compound there occurs hydrogen bonding.
In this type of bond, dipole-dipole attractive interactions tend to take place. And, strength of hydrogen bonds is very weak.
Thus, we can conclude that given bond types are arranged in order of increasing strength as follows.
Hydrogen bonds < non-polar covalent bonds < polar covalent bonds < ionic bonds
Answer:
An atom gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase; therefore the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. In general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to the right of a certain period.
