<span>2.4g of a compound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen gave on combustion, 3.52g of CO2 and 1.44g of H2O. The relative molecular mass of the compound was found to be 60. a)What are the masses of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in 2.4g of the compound? b)What are the emperical and ..</span>
39.25 g of water (H₂O)
Explanation:
We have the following chemical reaction:
2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O
Now we calculate the number of moles of each reactant:
number of moles = mass / molar weight
number of moles of H₂ = 14.8 / 2 = 7.4 moles
number of moles of O₂ = 34.8 / 32 = 1.09 moles
We see from the chemical reaction that 2 moles of H₂ will react with 1 mole of O₂ so 7.4 moles of H₂ will react with 3.7 moles of O₂ but we only have 1.09 moles of O₂ available. The O₂ will be the limiting reactant. Knowing this we devise the following reasoning:
if 1 moles of O₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O
then 1.09 moles of O₂ produces X moles of H₂O
X = (1.09 × 2) / 1 = 2.18 moles of H₂O
mass = number of moles × molar weight
mass of H₂O = 2.18 × 18 = 39.25 g

Hello there!
How is density different from weight and mass you say? It's simple!
1. Unlike weight, density is composed of mass and volume.
2. By dividing the mass over the volume, you can determine an object's density, while weight is the product of mass and gravity.
Hope this helps :) if so, can I get Brainliest?
