<p>a)propane b)1-propanol c)propanoic acid d)methyl ethanoate</p> <p>I got to the empirical formula of C3H8 and knew I was stuffed cause I had no idea how to use the 24.0g. Guessed a) anyway and got it wrong, answer was b)</p> <p>How do we know this? =O</p>

<p>To 20cm³ of a gaseous hydrocarbon. 80cm³ of oxygen were added. After explosion and cooling to room temperature, the residual gases occupied 70cm³. After absorption by KOH, 30cm³ of oxygen remained. Determine the formula of the hydrocarbon.</p>
