Moles analysis of combustion
« on: December 16, 2017, 04:12:50 PM »
Z is an organic compound and is found to contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only. combustion analysis of 0.500g of compound Z found it contained 0.133g carbon and 0.0111g hydrogen.
Molecular formula of z is C2H2O4.

0.0111g of hydrogen isolated from compound z was collected as water.

calculate the mass of water produced by 0.500g of Z during combustion analysis.

no idea please help.

0.0111g of hydrogen is how many moles? How many moles of water are made when that combusts? What is the mass of that amount of water?

0.00555 moles of hydrogen. 0.0111/2. Then multiply 18 to get 0.0999.
