The combustion of 4.16 grams of a compound which contains only C,H,O and F yields 7.7 g CO2 and 2.52 g H2O. Another sample of the compound with a mass of 3.63 g is found to contain 0.58 g F. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
C5H10(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g)
What is the coefficient for carbon dioxide?A compound composed of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen undergoes a combustion reaction to produce 264.21 g CO2, 63.06 g H2O and 46.4 g NO2. Determine its empirical formula.
