A compound X contain carbon and hydrogen only, 0.135g of X, on combustion in a stream of oxygen, gave 0.410g of carbon dioxide and 0.209g of water. Calculate the empirical formula of X. X is a gas at room temp and 0.290g of the gas occupy 120cm³ at room temp and 1atm. What is the molecular formula of X?
更新1:
I've already done the empirical forrmula, but don't know how to calculate the molecular formula.
CaHb + (a+b/4)O₂ -> aCO₂ + b/2H₂O
0.135g 0.410g 0.209g
n(CO₂)=0.410/44=9.318*10^-3 mol
n(H₂O)=0.209/18=0.01161 mol
n(CO₂):n(H₂O)
9.318*10^-3:0.01161
so,
the empirical formula of X=C₅H₁₂
