7. Hydrocarbon X has a molecular mass of 78 g. It is found to have 92.3% carbon and 7.7%
hydrogen by mass. Calculate the empirical formula and the molecular formulae of X.
8. When 1.2 g of magnesium ribbon is heated in air, it burns to form a white powder, which
has a mass of 2 g. What is the empirical formula of the powder?
9. When 19.8 g of an organic acid, A is burnt in excess oxygen, 33 g of carbon dioxide and
10.8 g of water are produced. Calculate the empirical formula for A and hence its
molecular formula, if Mr(A) = 132.
