QUESTION:
A gaseous hydrocarbon (containing C and H atoms) in a container of volume 20.2 L at 350 K and 6.63 atm reacts with an excess of oxygen to form 205.1 g of CO2 and 168.0 g of H2O. What is the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
From the given,
Pressure = 6.63 atm
Volume = 20.2L
Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm /mol.K
Temperature = 350 K
