Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 For combustion of an organic compound, all Carbon is converted to . Use the mass of  to find the mass of Carbon in the specific sample size, then relate that to the given mass percentage to determine the compound's total molar mass.

Step 1: Calculate mass of Carbon in the product
Molar mass of .

Since 1 mole of  contains 1 mole of Carbon, mass of .

Step 2: Relate mass of C to the compound sample
The problem states  of the compound was used, and it contains  Carbon.

Step 3: Calcu
