There are five hydrocarbon compounds (compounds of C and II) that have the formula C6H14. (These are isomers; they differ in the way that C and H atoms are attached. Chapter 23) All are liquids at room temperature but have slightly different densities. (a) You have a pure sample of one of these hydrocarbons, and to identify it you decide to measure its density. You determine that a 5.0-mL sample (measured in a graduated cylinder) has a mass of 3.2745 g (measured on an analytical balance). Assume that the accuracy of the values for mass and volume is plus or minus one ( 1) in the last significant figure. What is the density of the liquid? (b) Can you identify the unknown hydrocarbon based on your experiment? (c) Can you eliminate any of the five possibilities based on the data? If so, which one(s)? (d) You need a more accurate volume measurement to solve this problem, and you redetermine the volume to be 4.93 mL Based on this new informationwhat is the unknown compound?

Two general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.
