Question

A sample containing carbon and hydrogen is combusted, and the resulting gases are trapped. How can the empirical formula of the sample be determined?

Accepted Answer

By measuring the masses of CO_{2} and $$H_{2}O $$produced and calculating the mole ratios

Answer

By analyzing the initial mass of the sample

Answer

By observing the color change during combustion

Answer

By measuring the heat produced during combustion
