A 0.98 g sample of a hydrocarbon produces 3.08 g of CO₂ and 1.26 g of H₂O on complete combustion. What is its molecular
Mass of C ≈ 0.84 g; mass of H = 0.14 g. Total = 0.98 g. Moles: C = 0.07, H = 0.14; ratio = 1 : 2; empirical formula = CH₂, mass = 14 g/mol. n = 98/14 = 7; molecular formula = C₇H₁₄.
