Hydrocarbon --------------> Co2 + H2O
O.5 lit. ----------------> 2.5 lit + 3 lit.
0.5 moles. -----------> 2.5 moles + 3 moles
1 mole. -------------> 5 moles. + 6 moles.
Moles of C in Co2 = 1 × moles of Co2
= 1 × 5 = 5.
Moles of H in H2O = 2 × moles of H20
= 2 × 6 = 12.
Since 1 mole of the compound contain 5 moles of C and 12 moles of H, the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon is C5H12.
