Question 1
2.404 g of a compound were burned in oxygen and found to produce only 3.520 g CO
2(g), 2.564 g SO
2(g) and 1.440 g H
2O(l). Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

2 Question 2
4.72 g of a compound of carbon, hydrogen, and silver was burned in an atmosphere of oxygen, yielding 7.95 g of CO
2, 1.02 g of H
2O, and 3.02 g of a mixture of silver and silver oxide. Because the production of this mixture yielded an indeterminate value for the amount of silver, another sample of the compound weighing 8.12 g was reacted with a solution of NaCl, yielding 5.57 g of AgCl. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
