Here are the solutions to the questions:

b) ii) Calculate the empirical formula of compound Y.

  1. Calculate the moles of carbon and hydrogen.

    From 0.0002 mol of CO2\text{CO}_2:
    Moles of C = Moles of CO2\text{CO}_2 = 0.0002 mol0.0002 \text{ mol}
    From 0.00025 mol of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}:
    Moles of H = 2×2 \times Moles of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} = 2×0.00025 mol=0.0005 mol2 \times 0.00025 \text{ mol} = 0.0005 \text{ mol}

  2. Step 2
