Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon


Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of onlycarbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298K. Upon combusting theentire sample in oxygen, you collect a mixture of gaseous carbondioxide and water vapor at 1.51 atm and 375K. This mixture has adensity of 1.391g/L and occupies a volume four times as large asthat of the pure hydrocarbon. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.
