Here are some additional combustion analysis problems to practice: 1. A compound containing only carbon and hydrogen weighing 0.822 g was burned in oxygen to give 2.01 g of CO, and 0.827 g of H₂O. What is the empirical formula for the compound? 0.822 g CH 2. When 0.684 g of a compound containing only C, H, and O was burned in oxygen, 1.312 g of CO, and 0.805 g of H₂O were obtained. Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
