There are five hydrocarbon compounds (compounds of C and H) that have the formula C6H14. (These are isomers; they differ in the way that C and H atoms are attached. All are liquids at room temperature but have slightly different densities. Hydrocarbon to Density (g/mL) Hexane - 0.6600 g/mL 2,3-Dimethylbutane - 0.6616 g/mL 1-Methylpentane - 0.6532 g/mL 2,2-Dimethylbutane - 0.6485 g/mL 2-Methylpentane - 0.6645 g/mL (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) You need a more accurate volume measurement to solve this problem, and you redetermine the volume to be 4.93 mL. Based on these new data, what is the unknown compound?
