1)When 5.352 grams of a hydrocarbon,
CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis
apparatus, 18.38 grams of CO2 and
3.010grams of H2O were produced.
In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found
to be 128.2 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula
and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.

apparatus, 16.72 grams of CO2 and
3.424grams of H2O were produced.
In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found
to be 26.04 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula
