A compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is analyzed using combustion analysis. When 0.501 g of the compound is burned, 0.711 g of carbon dioxide and 0.436 g of water are collected. In order to determine the moles of carbon in the compound, first determine the moles of carbon dioxide that were produced from the combustion.
