A Combustion Apparatus vaporizes a sample into gases to later determine its formula.
Combustion Apparatus
Concept #1: Combustion Apparatus
Example #1: The compound that makes up an experimental jet fuel contains C, H and O. Suppose that in one experiment the combustion of 11.5 g of the liquid gave the following results:
Mass of CO2 absorber before combustion = 10.815 g
Mass of CO2 absorber after combustion = 32.815 g
Mass of H2O absorber before combustion = 10.110 g
Mass of H2O absorber after combustion = 23.610 g
Find the empirical formula of the unknown liquid.
