This is what's on my scratch paper so far:
054 moles at 1.51atm/375k yields 1 liter
now molar wt for water is 18 g/m and CO2 is 44 g/m
say x is number of moles hydrogen needed
and y is number of moles carbon needed
from above we build a formula total moles equal to .054
so
x + y= .054...
This problem was proposed to us by our Chemistry professor. Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon at 0.959atm and 298K. Upon combusting the entire sample in oxygen, you collect a mixture of gaseous carbon dioxide and water vapor at 1.51atm and 375K. This mixture has a density of 1.391 g/L and...
