0.22g

Explanation:

Converting the masses into molmol:
C_xH_y + 0.22O_2 -> 0.44CO_2 + 0.9H_2OCxHy+0.22O20.44CO2+0.9H2O

"Mass of carbon",x=0.44*(12/44)=0.12gMass of carbon,x=0.44(1244)=0.12g
"Mass of hydrogen",y=0.9*(2/18)=0.1gMass of hydrogen,y=0.9(218)=0.1g

Hence,
"Mass of hydrocarbon"=0.12+0.1=0.22gMass of hydrocarbon=0.12+0.1=0.22g
