Since , the hydrocarbon on complete combustion gives out given weights CO2 & H2O
Let the weight of hydrocarbon which on combustion gives out CO2 and H2 O be = x g
then ,
Step 1 . /
calculate percentage of H & C present in the hydrocarbon , separately
Step 2 / calculate the number of atoms of C and H from the % as = % of element / atomic mass of element
Step 3 / Calculate the whole number ratio of C : H in the hydrcarbon
Step 4 / Infer the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon
Calculations for Step 1 to 4 are tabulated as below :
C= 1244X3.08
= 0.84 g
= 84x/ 12
= 7x
H =218X0.72
= o.08 g
8x/ 1
= 8x
= 8/x
C: H = 7 : 8
Since empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various present in a compound ,
∴The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C7 H8
