Leaded gasoline contains an additive to prevent engine

Chapter 8, Problem 81AP

(choose chapter or problem)

Leaded gasoline contains an additive to prevent engine “knocking.” On analysis, the additive compound is found to contain carbon, hydrogen, and lead (Pb) (hence, “leaded gasoline”). When 51.36 g of this compound are burned in an apparatus such as that shown in Figure 8.1, 55.90 g of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and 28.61 g of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) are produced. Determine the empirical formula of the gasoline additive.
