14 (B410U10-1) Examiner only 13. Compound X contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. 6.57 g of X was burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. 12.57 g of carbon dioxide and 7.74 g of water were collected. (a) Suggest how the mass of carbon dioxide and the mass of water could be measured in this experiment. [2] (b) Find the percentage by mass of each element in X.
