A solid hydrocarbon was completely combusted in a closed vessel at 120 oC. The residual gas had a volume of 64 cm 3, which decreased by 24 cm 3 after bubbling through a dehydrating agent. After this, 40% of the final gas volume consisted of oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon? A CH B CH2 C CH3 D C2H3 2. When cobalt metal is reacted with a solution containing cobalt( III) ions, cobalt( II) ions are formed. How many moles of Co and Co 3+(aq) would result in a mixture containing both cobalt(II) and cobalt(III) ions in the mole ratio of 3:1 after the reaction had taken place? Moles of Co Moles of Co3+ A 1 2 B 1 3 C 1 5 D 2 3 3. Which graph does not share the same general shape with the other three graphs according to the ideal gas law for a fixed mass of gas?
