Combustion of 28.30 g of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces 32.75 gco2 and 13.41 gh2o. what is the empirical formula of the compound?

The empirical formula is C₂H₄O₃.

We must calculate the masses of C, H, and O from the masses given.

Mass of C = 32.75 g CO₂ × (12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂) = 8.9372 g C

Mass of H = 13.4 g H₂O × (2.016 H/18.02 g H₂O) = 1.5067 g H

Mass of O = Mass of compound - Mass of C - Mass of H

                  = (28.30 – 8.9372 – 1.5067) g = 17.856 g

Now, we must convert these masses to moles and find their ratios. If the ratios are not integers, we multiply them by a number to make them close to integers.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

Element       m/g       n/mol     Ratio        ×2      Integers  

     C           8.9372   0.74415   1               2                  2

     H           1.5067    1.4948    2.0086    4.0174          4

     O        17.856       1.1160      1.4997     2.9994         3

The empirical formula is C₂H₄O₃.

answer: any goods being imported from another country may be subject to issued by the federal government are tariffs

explanation:  

tariffs are a tax on anything that are imported from abroad. government use them to protect and boost their local industries and the thought is that they encourage consumers to buy local instead of importing and they will hope will protect jobs and economy in the country that implements them  

the objects have the same charge is correct.
