Answer: An unknown compound contains only carbon,

Chapter 17, Problem 17.113

(choose chapter or problem)

An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezingpoint depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of 25.208C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g of water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.
