A compound that contains only C and H was burned in excess O2 to give CO2 and H2O. When 0.270 g of the compound was burned, the amount of CO2 formed reacted completely with 20.0 mL of 2.00 M NaOH solution according to the equation:
2 OH-(aq) + CO2(g) ----> CO32-(aq) + H2O (l)
When 0.270 g of the compound was dissolved in 50.0 g of camphor, the resulting solution had a freezing point of 177.9 degrees C. ( Pure camphor freezes at 179.8 degrees C and has Kf= 37.7 degrees C/m.)
