A 0.5242-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.9740 g of CO2 and 0.1994 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

petroleum? coal maybe?

indium, and thallium have three electrons i think

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
