 Combustion Analysis
• Alkanes have strong C-C and C-H bonds, they atr unreactive at room temperature. At high temperature, however, alkanes
burn rapidly with the oxygen in the air. This is called a combustion reaction.
• The products from the complete combustion of an alkane are carbon dioxide and water. If the amount of oxygen is
limited, carbon monoxide may be produced.

Example : CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) spark

CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)

Combustion of 18.8 g of a substance produced 27.6 g CO2 and 11.3 g H2O. Determine the empirical formula.
Determine the molecular formula given that its molar mass is approximately 180 g.
Therefore, 18.8 g of a substance contains 7.53 g C and 1.26 g H.
Remaining mass is oxygen: 10.0 g O
 Divide by 0.625 moles
Empirical Formula: CH2O

Divide by the lowest number of moles!

 Aqueous Solutions
Solution: homogeneous mixture
•Solute: component that is dissolved
•Solvent: component that dissolves solute

Generally, component present in greatest quantity is considered to be the

solvent.

Aqueous solutions are those in which water is the solvent.

 Concentration of Solutions
Concentration is amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent.
• units include: molarity, percent (w/v)

Qualitative expressions of concentration

Concentrated – higher ratio of solute to solvent

Dilute - smaller ratio of solute to solvent

Comparison of a Concentrated and Dilute Solution
Solubility: measure of how much solute will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature

Saturated Solution: solution whose concentration is at solubility limit at a given temp (no more solute can
be dissolved into solvent)

Unsaturated Solution: when concentration of a solute is less than the solubility limit

Supersaturated Solution: under controlled conditions, more solute can be dissolved than normal (heating
or cooling)
If two liquids dissolve in each other in all proportions, they
are miscible
• alcohol and water

If two liquids are insoluble in each other, they are immiscible
